Fighting ‘pseudoscience’ with UC admissions

The LA Times reported yesterday that “climate change skepticism” was increasingly being taught in the classroom with, of course, big oil Texas leading the way. A watchdog group, the National Center for Science Education, will announce today they will be monitoring the teaching of climate change in the classroom. This same group was instrumental in defending the teaching of evolution in classrooms.

What I found really interesting though was a comment posted last night,

The University of California (and the CSU system as well) should step in and nip this in the bud.   UC and CSU should put school-boards (in-state and out-of-state) on notice that science classes that fail to present the scientific consensus (or present pseudoscientific denial arguments) regarding global warming will not fulfill UC/CSU admissions requirements. Science classe that present material from web-sites like wattsupwiththat and other sources of pseudoscience should absolutely not be counted toward UC/CSU admission.
