How does creationism qualify as a science course, since it has absolutely no scientific foundation?

Creationism will be a science course when the courts promote it to such status thorugh intellectual affermative action. The Dover, PA case is the first of many. The Univeristy of California is being sued over denying admission to science programs for students that studied creationism in Christian high schools. I suspect there is a strategy to use the courts to force creationism and ID into science classes all the way from kindergraden through graduate school. There are people that want even graduate level biology programs to be forced by the government, through treats of funding, and the courts to stop using evolution and use only ID and creationism. These people will not be satsfied until science is replaced by theology.

That's not the issue. The issue is whether administrators should tell professors what they can or can't mention in a class.

Suppose an administrator said that no economics course could mention Adam Smith ... or that no economics course could mention Karl Marx? Either way, it's a question of control over the content of courses.
