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.

It’s apples and oranges. Clearly if someone is taking remedial courses their ability to score well on the SAT/ACT is going to be limited. I can guarantee you that if a remedial student scores well on those entrance exams they will be admited not matter what remedial courses they may have taken. You’re talking out of your hat.

I think Christians must be the dumbest sheep on the planet!

Christians take this to court and ask, “Please, please, Judge Secular Humanist have pity on us.”

Balooney!

When are Christians going to wake up?
