ABC reports The UC system — which includes more than 220,000 students on 10
publicly funded campuses, considered some of the most competitive in
the nation — has historically agreed with Del Gavio-Kusich that many
religious courses, especially those that declare the Bible infallible
and reject evolution, do not meet academic muster.
“My religious courses never required much research and are
taught by teachers who have their own beliefs,” said Del Gavio-Kusich.
“You get a religious point of view.”
USA Today reports U.S. District Court Judge S. James Otero ruled last Friday that
concerns about a course whose primary text was called “Biology: God’s
Living Creation” was deemed by UC experts to have failed at teaching
critical thinking or the theory of evolution in an adequate manner.
