About Says It All


Robert Tyler, from Advocates for Faith and Freedom, described as a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting religious liberty in the courts and spreading the Christian word that "society is increasingly devoid of the message and influence of God," and counsel to the plaintiffs in Association of Christian Schools International vs. Stearns, the lawsuit brought against the University of California for its rejection of some religiously-oriented science, history and literature courses, on the recent dismissal of the action:

[Tyler] also argues that three of the four rejected courses at Calvary Chapel fall into opinion-laden disciplines, like history, government and English literature. He said paperwork he received from UC said those courses were rejected because they were not "consistent with empirical historical knowledge accepted by the collegiate community."

"That doesn't make any sense," said Tyler. "The word 'empirical' is a scientific term of testing to determine the science. Well, you can't test history to see what was after it happened. What they are doing is throwing out the standard language, saying we don't like or agree with what you are teaching."
Right! There is no objective knowledge about history or government to be had. They can just make it up.

Oh, wait a minute, that's what people like David Barton do, isn't it?

If they think that those faculty at UC are so ignorant, why would they want their kids to be taught by them?

Once again, the absolutist right crawls into bed with the pomo-relativist left. I'm used to seeing these clowns try to apply that logic to pre-history -- after all, there are no eye-witness accounts of the Mesozoic -- but *recent* history, for which we have documentary evidence? It is to laugh.

... why would they want their kids to be taught by them?

They don't want them taught by them ... there are books about how to "protect" fundamentalist kids who go to secular universities ... they want their kids to be given the degree by them.

... the absolutist right crawls into bed with the pomo-relativist left.

While, at the same time, vociferously denouncing the "moral relativism" of those same pomos. It takes a particularly compartmentalized view of reality to be an evangelical.
