The point here is that Government schools are discriminating and restricting access to public education for Christian college students. It’s a slippery slope and ludicrous decision that denies and overlooks the fact that their University system admits thousands of students from abroad to insure diversification. Unless they are researching all courses and textbooks in multiple languages from their applicant students, they have no way of discerning what science text coincides with their admissions expectations.
If students have complied with their private school requirements and have demonstrated the superior testing scores necessary to be granted admission, there should be no reason to deny admissions or modify the requirements against students attending non-government schools.
This is a fight for domination, control, and monopoly over the sale of textbooks (written by CA professors, perhaps) and education which is driven by an overzealous California University System and Teacher’s Union.
Since 1-2 science courses are required for a Liberal Arts or Business Degree, what’s the problem? The CA Universities can teach or indoctrinate their viewpoints at the collegiate level to every college student. Therefore, the admission of the Christian student should be viewed as an oppotunity to convert a mind, rather than reject the student. Obviously, this is not the case. The decision is about keeping public school teachers K-12 employed and forcing the private or homeschool students into their system. It is also about restricting access to public affordable education to qualified students. It is discrimination based on religion.
No, the issue is preparation for college level science courses. A college shouldn't give science credit for non-science courses. In the same vein, seminaries should not give theology credits for physics classes. In both cases, they would be setting the student up for failure and that would be mean and irresponsible.
No, they are applying a single standard based on course content. There are thousands of conflicting religious views and thousands of creation stories, but biology based on science is the same in every country and every culture.
