This is interesting.

Murrietta is a small town in S. California and the U.C. are the colleges in Califorina. 'Life and Times' is a TV program about current events in S. Califorina. KCET is the Public Broadcasting station for the area.
UC doesn't think that teaching creationism is enough science for a student to get into the college. Good for them! The Christian school thinks otherwise. I guess the courts will say who's 'right'.

I cut and pasted the synopsis but you can look at the transcripts if you want to know more.

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL VS. U.C. SYSTEM
A parochial school in Murrietta teaches courses from a Christian perspective. Now the U.C. system says it will not give credit for those courses to students applying to U.C. campuses. Roger Cooper looks at both sides of an feud between church and state.

I heard the Hannity and Coombs exchange on this. At first I thought Fox was going to let this guy go on without any rebuttal. And he made it sound like all their courses were denied acceptance. Finally, Coombs spoke up and said it was only their biology class and we all know that's a no brainer and some Bible literature class which my guess didn't have much variety in it.

Poor poor pitiful Christians being persecuted again! When will the cruel world ever stop?
