The university of California has refused to recognize as part of the admission requirements courses that place religious values above the demands of the discipline, for example, biology courses that refuse to consider evolution. The ruling particularly affects would-be entrants from religious schools. Edcators representing religious schools protest that their rights are being violated.
The university must hold the line on this, for the good of the nation.
In evaluating transcripts of students for entrance, the University of California has refused to honor courses that place religious concepts over subject matter. This has led to challenges by religious schools, who say their rights are violated. The conflict arises in cases where the course description or the textbook clearly favors religious interpretation rather than the integrity of the discipline. Naturally biology courses for which the textbook denies evolution are a point of disagreement, but courses such as "Religious Values in American History" if offered as the main fulfillment of a history requirement would merit scrutiny also.
The university is of course holding the line and must do so. The nation should also be seriously evaluating what has gone wrong with education, when a president who has graduated from Yale has no concept of science or how it works. The normal curriculum intended to educate the public about science is often not doing its job. Teachers of science and of critical thinking--we need some new ideas from you!
