So the big deal about this must be anti-religious sentiment. A lawyer should take on the case and present the sheer number of very obvious scientific errors, along with outdated and discredited theories currently being presented as fact in scientific texts the UC system accepts. It would be a pretty easy religious discrimination case.

What would be interesting is demonstrating that the creationist textbooks teach the ToE wrong.

The UC is not accepting credit from creationist textbooks that believe that evolution is wrong. I have not read that the reason is that it is claimed that it is taught wrong.

This also assumes that public school textbooks teach it correctly when the case really is that that's all they teach.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. So this isn't a case of missing information, but extra information. If a student is exposed to this idea, then he is "tainted" in some way to the UC system. Makes a stronger case for the gov't pushing ideology rather than "good science".
