Christian Schools Bring Suit Against UChttp://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-christian27aug27,1,7818465.story?coll=la-headlines-california&ctrack=1&cset=trueUC admissions authorities have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin's theory of evolution.
Other courses rejected by UC officials include "Christianity's Influence in American History," "Christianity and Morality in American Literature" and "Special Providence: American Government."
The 10-campus UC system requires applicants to complete a variety of courses, including science, mathematics, history, literature and the arts. But in letters to Calvary Chapel, university officials said some of the school's Christian-oriented courses were too narrow to be acceptable.
UC's board of admissions also advised the school that it would not approve biology and science courses that relied primarily on textbooks published by Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books, two Christian publishers.
