Ted, > I see that private schools do only slightly better than public schools but where do the schools you cited, the Christian schools, fit into this mix? There haven't been any studies on how Christian private schools fare compared to other private schools. All I can say is that private schools tend to be Christian more often than not. So then, you weren't being entirely honest. But how come the UC schools won't cite any studies showing how harmful teaching "creationism" is toward students? Why not just look at their test scores? You realize the UC system will reject students based on coursework, even if they score all fives on their AP tests? Let me give you an example.......there is a university where 4+4=s 10; 5+5=s 12; 6+6=s 14...I think you get the drift. Now the kids at this school have a very high GPA. If you were a educator at another university that does not teach this type of fukked up math, would you want those kids matriculated at your school? I know I wouldn't. By teaching creationism, the Christian universities are doing their students a big disservice. Their education will be considered substandard by the rest of the world. Thank God the UC system is finally making that clear.

"All I can say is that private schools tend to be Christian more often than not." Nonsense. Secular private schools for the wealthy are an American institution. I'm sure those schools skew the private school averages up. Then, there are Catholic schools, which aren't right wingnutteries either. Ted should try to get a job educating young Republicans, before they become selfish greedheads like their parents. He'll be PAID by the anti-christs as he subverts the children of America's enemies.
