You thought the incoming classes were hard to teach before?

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is considering certifying the Institute for Creation Research to offer Master's degrees in science education. If approved, some Texas schools will have science teachers whose qualifications are in Biblical creationism.

Well, if you read the comments over in dark_christian you'll find that if they do this, in a few years, there'll be a *huge* uproar when the students they "graduate" discover that their diplomas will *not* be recognized by the University of California schools.

And given that a bunch of other universities are looking at instituting similar restrictions on what they'll accept as valid science courses in high school, the backlash should be *really* interesting.
