I can't see this lawsuit going very far. Both sides are clearly posturing. But it will be hard to claim discrimination when the history of admission is 75% and the standards are not designed to impact any particular school. The University has a right to make admission standards, not a court.

It will be interesting to watch, with the activist California courts, though. My guess is that the Calvary kids are out of luck.

I think it's the parents that have made the mistake and now they want the courts to fix it.

"I think it's the parents that have made the mistake and now they want the courts to fix it."

Parents in California would be making a mistake if they sent their kids to public schools that have 50% dropout rate and half don’t speak English at home. These christian kids are prepared more than public kids to go to the university, just on their English alone. For example, These private schools have a 75% success rate in admittance.

But now kids who have studied hard are being used as pawns because God was used in their curriculum, that probably consisted only of a few weeks of instruction, while at the same time these kids are beating hands down all other public school students as an average in SAT in all disciplines, including science.

As a parent of one in a Christian high school, I should know, that it has been the best decision I have made on education. If it turns out the UC system will not admit my child, no big loss, we have other places to spend our money, and wont look back either because decisions like this that weed out the best students, who are the most qualified with knowledge of all things, which incidentally includes Christianity, but are left out based upon some hidden affirmative action agenda, that will be another reason everyone with any real education equates university nowadays as liberal hotbeds that have no backbone when it comes to standards of the most qualified.

That doesn't seem to stop the creationists from looking for help from activist judges, though. Isn't it funny how quickly they adopt leftist tactics to get what they want?
