Dear God, Please Do Something About These, Thy People!

Well, to be fair, I suppose one should do analysis of the course's learning objectives and outcomes before deciding that a class has the components essential to meet the state academic standards. That is something I'm going to bet the insutitution has done. I'm also going to bet that were the classes from privately run Wiccan schools and the courses called something like "Wiccan Influence in American History" they too--if they didn't meet the coursework criteria--would be refused.

This pretty much stinks of the 'If you ain't for'n us yer a'gin us' phobia of the American Neo-Christian movement.

"INTELLIGENT design isn't the only flashpoint in the battle over religion in the nation's classrooms. On Dec. 12, the Federal District Court in Los Angeles will hear a lawsuit filed by a consortium of Christian high schools against the University of California system for refusing to credit some of their courses when their students apply for admission.

Among those courses are 'Christianity's Influence in American History' and 'Christianity and American Literature,' both of which draw on textbooks published by Bob Jones University of Greenville, S.C., which describes itself as having stood for 'the absolute authority of the Bible since 1927.'"
