This is clearly an overreach. Universities have typically accepted transcripts and SAT/ACT scores as the basis for admission. This is the first instance, that I know of, that a University has refused an accredited transcript based on the content of the course. If the state has already accredited the content of these courses, why does UC have the right to discredit them? Do you mean to tell me that I may be denied entrance to a university because of something my high school math teacher might have taught? If that is your position, then you are primed for the Brave New World.

Colleges already do this. You're just not aware of it. For instance if you take all remedial classes, even a 4.0 won't get you into Harvard.

Exactly!

Christians should rise up an pull the money plug on the University of California. That means electing representatives with backbone to do it. It means contacting alumni to withdraw endowments and annuities.

The Secular Humanists hate Christians. They would kill them if they could. They just can't get away with it...yet.

By the way,...Were you aware the Harvard has an endowment of 35 Billion? I wonder what the endowment of UC is? Probably in the billions. How many **STUPID** Christians gave money to that school?

Surely it is time for Christians to fund education for Christian children to see that **every** Christian child has an opportunity to get a thorough Christian education from kindergarten through graduate school.

It is also important for Christians to work to see that **government** stops funding the opposition. The best way to do that is to privatize education. Then Christians can pay for the education of their children, and the Secular Humanists can pay for their children.
