And they’re having a cow over evolution, which is not likely to be adequately mastered even in schools where it alone is taught? Seems like an agenda to me.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is an agenda.

If the government atheist Secular Humanists can control the content of **this** course then they can control the content of other courses. If the government university can dictate to this Christian school what will be given credit, they can certainly do this to **any** private or home school.

What these government atheists want is mind control over other people's children!

Also...Historically, I bet the graduates of this Christian school have done **wonderfully** well in UC colleges and universities. I also bet that there are thousands of graduates of the atheistic government schools sitting in remedial courses because they can not read!

If California can get away with this, then government universities in states across the nation willl also start their mind control program by dictating to private and home schools what will and will not be given the government imprimatur of so-called “credit”.

This case should be a dead canary in the mine shaft for all privately and home schooled kids.

This case should also be a dead canary in the mine shaft for all Christians! The atheistic Secular Humanist are now flexing their government muscle and plan to make getting an education or a job very hard for anyone admitting to being a Christian.

Nice try. The issue is academic credit for non-academic subjects, and in fact anti-academic and anti-science subjects.

Do you also want to give credit for snake handling? That might fit into zoology.

How about dancing and shaking the rattles? That might fit into the music curriculum somewhere.

I'm not sure where magic would fit. Performing arts?

But speaking in tongues, now that has to fit into linguistics somehow!

You know, for the small minority of kids who will ever need any evolutionary background for their degree, the college, no doubt, offers courses that will fill that in at a much more in depth treatment than it ever got in high school. So if they’re missing something, it will be covered.

I can’t see the sense in penalizing kids who are going for degree programs where anything like science, much less evolution, is not required or even relevant; except for the obvious strong arm tactics that are being resorted to since the attempted stranglehold on the public school system isn’t working because it is still missing kids who can escape it.

If the college wants to be like that, well, there’s plenty of other good, big name colleges to give their business to.
