On Dec. 12, the Federal District Court in Los Angeles will hear a lawsuit filed by a consortium of Christian high schools against the University of California system for refusing to credit some of their courses when their students apply for admission.

And if I were a university, I wouldn't count a course that said Thomas Jefferson was the anti-christ as something worthwhile either.

The Jefferson quote is over the top, but I don't see this quoted content as being grounds to refuse credit. You may be required to understand Thomas Jefferson in order to get into college, but you should not be required to like him. In order to refuse these students the State must establish that they do not gain the basic knowledge needed in order to comprehend college level material from these classes. If that is the case it will take a lot more then a few quotes to demonstrate it.

Well that's why it's in court. They'll get more than a few quotes, they'll get the whole book.
