A group representing California religious schools has filed a lawsuit accusing the University of California system of discriminating against high schools that teach creationism and other conservative Christian viewpoints.
The Association of Christian Schools International, which represents more than 800 schools, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming UC admissions officials have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin's theory of evolution...
If we're lucky, this will be slapped down. Creationism is religion, not science. No one has a gripe with religious schools teaching it in religion classes, but don't pretend it's fact, when it simply isn't.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be lucky. This is exactly the kind of lawsuit the Dominionists want to take all the way to the Supreme Court. Which, as we all know, has the best Justice money can buy.

This just pisses me off. Why they want to keep spouting this nonsense is beyond me. Maybe they should take on something more meanful from their religion. There a plenty of good things they could be focused on besides this battle.
What just slays me is that the catholics have come up with a perfectly good "religion and science and evolution can co-exist" rational. Some Christians reject it out of hand.
That is one thing about some of these rapture rightist Christians that always bothered me--a tone of anti-intellectualism.
You shouldn't have to turn off your brain to be a Christian.
Arghhh!
They did before Ratzinger at least, but look out.
The Inquisition may soon be coming to a parish near you.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Especially since our very own former Archbishop in SF will be in the Rat's old job. The office of the Inquisition!
Yikes!
