For those who want to have some actual facts, the ruling may be found at http://missingthepoint.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/acsivuc-ruling.pdf

All courses were rejected for inadequacies of the main textbook.

The English course was rejected for using an anthology of excerpts; this is categorically unacceptable for college-bound students, who should be reading full works.

One history course book "failed to encourage historical thinking skills and analytical thinking" necessary to "understanding history as a discipline as it has been practiced since Herodotus and Thucydides – a never-ending quest to reconstruct the past based on new evidence and informed by new questions posed about the functioning of past societies." A second "does not acknowledge the commonly-accepted framework for scholarly analysis and provides little opportunity for critical thinking," which I'd expect to lead to the same problems as the first. The third course had mostly minor difficulties that might have easily been resolved on submitting clarifying information... starting with verifying the intended textbook EXISTED.

As for the Biology course, the text "characterized religious doctrine as scientific evidence, included scientific inaccuracies, failed to encourage critical thinking, and took an "overall un-scientific approach to the subject matter", and was "teaching students to reject scientific evidence and methodology", which would similarly "fail to encourage critical thinking and the skills required for careful scientific analysis." This is not simply an objection against creationism. As reiterated by Defendants experts and as the plaintiffs failed to provide evidence contrariwise,
"the problem is not ... that the creationist view is taught as an alternative to scientific explanations, but that the nature of science, the theory of evolution, and critical thinking are not taught adequately."

Critical thinking is necessary for telling the academic equivalents of hamburger patties from bull patties, and a skill expected to be well-developed by entry into college. It is reasonable that the results of these courses not be considered in the admissions process.
