Are secular
universities discriminating against religious schools?
The "Economist" published a very interesting article
on December 14, about the argument between the Univeristy of California and the
association of Christian Schools in the US, regarding the admission procedures
of the UC with reference to the teaching of non- scientific material in
christian schools.
Academics in particular, but politicians too, should
follow this argument very closely, given the implication it can have not only in
education but in society too.
The UC argues that the university, reflect “knowledge generally accepted in the
scientific and educational communities and with which a student at the
university level should be conversant.” The same, says the university, is true
of some other courses—in history, literature and government—offered by Calvary
Chapel Christian Schools of Murrieta, a small town south-east of Los Angeles.
