/Issues_and_Commentary Fight over Intelligent Design is Heating Up

Apparently there is now a lawsuit brewing in California, with creationists/IDers complaining that the "science" education provided by some Christian schools is unfairly held to be insufficient by the University of California system. A few good posts from The Questionable Authority:

The second link contains some quotes from a textbook in question. Priceless. However I have to wonder: if a student, regardless of backwards schooling, can get a good enough score on the proper tests, and can get through the admissions process, I'm not sure I understand why UC would deny them schooling. If the student's schooling was truly sub-standard, then the student would fail out like plenty of other students who were provided a "standard" education. Besides, a real education might allow them to break free of the cloister.

Regardless, if I reflect too long on this battle, it starts depressing me. What in the world is happening here?
