A Future for Christian Schools?
My best friend teaches at a Christian school and sent me an article she received from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Since it's a printed document I can't get off their website without being a member, you're going to have to trust me as to content as I don't think it's ethical to post it. It's called the "Christian School Comment" Volume 38, Number 9.
The article outlines the University of California's decision not to accept credits from private schools whose textbooks "reflect a strong Christian bias or viewpoint." If I'm reading this correctly, it says that currently Christian high school courses are being rejected for "certain core subject requirements such as science, literature, history and ethics."
To me, the most inflammatory statement in this article is this one:
This makes me wonder. Are the UC's afraid they're going to get flooded by well-informed, critical thinkers who'll challenge their liberal Edens with Biblical worldviews? ACSI is involved in a lawsuit claiming viewpoint discrimination. I pray they have success.
To me, the most inflammatory statement in this article is this one:
"The UC system admits that there is no evidence that students who have taken courses that include the use of such textbooks are any less capable of university success, but the UC system still contends that students who wish to enter the UC system must have taken core courses that use only textbooks that do not promote a Christian viewpoint."
This makes me wonder. Are the UC's afraid they're going to get flooded by well-informed, critical thinkers who'll challenge their liberal Edens with Biblical worldviews? ACSI is involved in a lawsuit claiming viewpoint discrimination. I pray they have success.
