I would argue that rejecting the pedagogical validity of such a textbook is not a "naked bias" but an exercise in educational responsibility. If the textbook said that science must take a backseat to interpretation of the Quran or the Vedic scriptures, it would be equally necessary to devalue such a course in preparing a student for college level science courses. Again, if the sources cited for the existence of this litigation are to be
believed, the UC system is not focused on the ID/evolution question. It is
one source of disqualification of coursework. But courses in history,
literature and civics have also been put in jeopardy. The focus is not
ID. You have banged the drum on the ID question and made clear how
unscientific ID thinking is, but for the love of Pete, could you formulate a law
and religion argument for why the university system is sending out form letters
threatening invalidation of courses in history, literature and civics?
