These Courses Are Condemned

"Christian Morality in American Literature" is biased. "Feminine Perspectives in Literature" is not.

It is just such a class--addressing profound themes in a classic work of English literature--that has the University of California worried. Most California high-school students who apply to the university submit their grades as a part of their application. But the university must deem their high-school classwork to be sufficiently demanding for the grades to mean anything. And lately the university's officials have looked upon the classes in California's Christian schools with suspicion--even as they wave through lighter-than-air classes from public schools.
