Isn’t it funny how the tolerance and diversity Gestapo is so intolerant. Notice the textbooks they are not discriminating against. The secularists know who the real enemy is, Christianity, and that is why it is Public Enemy Number One, as far as they are concerned.
IMHO, there shouldn’t be state run universities and Christian parents should certainly not voluntarily send their Christian children there, but this is still outrageous.
Arguments were heard today in a federal district court case to determine whether a state university system can dictate that private Christian schools in the state teach their college prep courses from exclusively secular, Bible- and God-free textbooks.
As WND reported earlier, the University of California system adopted a policy last year that basic science, history, and literature textbooks by major Christian book publishers wouldn’t qualify for core admissions requirements because of the inclusion of Christian perspectives.
Robert Tyler, who is representing Calvary Chapel Christian School and five students in the case against the University of California, told WND that the university’s discriminatory policy creates an ultimatum for Christian schools. “If you want courses to be approved in private education, so your students are qualified to attend (UC) institutions, you must teach from a secular point of view,” he said.
“Christian schools will have to decide: teach from a Christian worldview and eliminate your student’s ability to attend a UC school, or teach from a secular worldview, so that the kids can enter the UC school system,” he explained.

If ANY schools actually consider that choice, they are NOT Christian schools to begin with.
the ONLY solution for this crisis is for CHRISTIANS to STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK – en masse! And for Pastors to encourage their congregation to fight back!
We, as so-called Christians, have allowed this secular agenda to go forward – and have done little or nothing to stop it…yet we are the majority…IMHO – WE will be Judged accordingly if we are so timid that we cannot stand up and fight for our Faith!
And WE have the Constitution on our side…and there are organizations that will fight for you in Court if you cannot afford to do so (ADF, ACLJ, Thomas More Law Center, etc). But if your children are affected and you just shrug your shoulders and complain about it….YOU are just as guilty as the ones who are denying you your Rights! READ the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution…READ at least portions of the Federalist Papers (which in large part explain the Founders’ reasoning on the Constitution)….
CHRISTIANS! It is OUR DUTY UNDER GOD to stand up and FIGHT BACK FOR OUR RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF RELIGION “…. AND THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF.”
