California Does It Again
[September 6th] - And just when you thought it was safe to go back to school.
The University of California system has recently announced that students who graduated from many private, religious schools will not be allowed to attend any of the state universities beginning next year. Officials said that they didn't feel that students who attended religious schools were prepared for the college experience. Wendell Bird, attorney for the university system, said that several English, science and social studies courses provided an incorrect perspective on the subject being taught. Ravi Poorsina explains that those requirements were established to "ensure that students who come here are fully prepared with broad knowledge and the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed."
Let's think about this for just a second. There is little doubt that a private education far surpasses a public one in both breadth and quality. So all those students with a secular, inferior education are welcomed into the California university system, but students with a much stronger education are turned away at the door because of their religious beliefs.
Students who attend private schools generally come from better homes, have a better sense of right and wrong, and are better equipped to make a difference in this world. But those who believed in God enough to attend a Christian school are "marked" by the California education system as "undesireables."
It makes sense. By keeping out of the system these students, radical leftist students and professors won't have to worry about demonstrations by the right on campus, because there won't be anyone there with a different opinion.
