When the Homily is about Immunology

Watch this court battle

The largest organization of Christian schools in the country is suing the University of California for denying admittance to a number of students coming from conservative Christian private schools.

This article gives a lot of details.

I was particularly fond of reading the UC admission director reject a course entitled "American Literature: Classics for Christians" saying in part: "Unfortunately, this course, while it has an interesting reading list, does not offer a nonbiased approach to the subject matter."

Yeah, right, only Christians schools and texts demonstrate a bias. I mean, how amazingly niave the secular world is...do they honestly believe that they champion a non-biased approach? Do they honestly believe that professors in academia refrain from regurgitating their political, social, and (non) religious dogmas on their students?

I also found this interesting:

In their suit, the schools argue that UC has accepted courses in "The Jewish Experience" and Islam, and also allowed courses in "Military History and Philosophy," "Gender, Sexuality and Identity in Literature" and "Children's Literature." These acceptances, they claimed, undercut the university's rationale in rejecting Calvary's history course as "too narrow/too specialized."

If you homeschool or send your kids to a private Christian school, does such scrutiny on the coursework potentially posing problems for your kids' academic career, regardless of their test scores, concern you?

This is just another sign of the ongoing culture clash here in America (and around the world)...it is going to get worse I am sure.
