My son is starting high school at a Christian school in California today. His school uses secular text for the regular classes, and puts a Christian spin on the cousework. They have a separate Bible class.

I have mixed opinions about this. Not sure what to make of the ruling.

What do they teach regarding the age of the earth and Genesis?

Here’s what I think. Let the states have their schools and let them pay for them.

I’m no theologian, but I’m suprised I don’t hear more about education for
the faithful in regard to the example of Daniel in The Old Testament.

What I gather from Daniel’s story is that in a secular society,
even under compulsion, ACE the secular cirriculum...
and hold onto your faith.
And be prepared to take a stand when necessary and endure the heat.

Daniel even taught his captors something about nutrition!

From your description of the cirriculum at his Christian school,
that sounds like a sensible approach to me (IMHO).

I also have mixed feelings. Before I make up my mind, I’d like to know if UC is only targeting Christians in Christian high schools. What about home schoolers who use alternative texts? What about ‘un-schoolers’ who may use no text? What about Muslim high schools?
