Stand Strong Berkeley... PLEASE!

In a Wall Street Journal article it was talking about a court case of some parents vs the school board for implementing some religious rhetoric before teaching evolution and I found out about another court challenge I hadn't been aware of. Here's the blurb:
"The University of California at Berkeley faces a lawsuit from students at Christian private schools who say they can't go to the prestigious campus because the science courses they took -- based on anti-evolution textbooks -- don't fulfill its admission requirements."
This, I think is a very dangerous case (but luckily it's in California). Ruining the US's high schools by parading mythology as science is one thing, but letting in unqualified students who never really learned science would be disastrous. It's a good think the US's great universities are in the educated states (NY,NJ,California and Mass)!

It's when things like this happen I'm glad for the sham of a democracy the US has since the important people rich/corporations will want science well taught, not religion. An what the corporations want Congress does :-)
