== "Textbooks...were unacceptable because they reflected a Christian viewpoint." ==
That is an un-encyclopedic and unfair over-simplification (and mis-quote) of the judge's ruling. The textbooks were unacceptable not because they were Christian but because they were so scientifically illiterate that students taught using them would not be able to cope in actual science classes. The judge mentioned that even "some Christian schools have declined to use (the) textbooks because of concerns about the texts' academic merit."
