so no one is forcing these kids to go to a UC school.
Agreed. We briefly looked at UC schools for our daughter but were taken aback by the aggressive promotion of the "Condom Olympics" as part of the new student orientation week - presented with the assumption that we parents would view it as a good thing.
It came down to what I told my wife: "I just have a hard time giving my money to an organization that seems dedicated to subvert and/or ridicule most things I believe.
Our daughter begins her freshman year later this month at a well-regarded Christian University in Oregon.

Poindexter and luckystarmom,
The University of California schools are heavily subsidized with taxpayer money.
Government money ( your money, pointdexter) is being used to promote an atheistic Secular Humanist religious worldview. **Your** money is being used to ridicule and subvert your religious beliefs.
Luckystarmom,...yes,...Parents and children are not forced to attend UC schools but they are forced to pay for them in their taxes.
Some of the problems that government schools have with the First Amendment are avoided in government colleges and universities because attendance is voluntary...but..taxpayers are still forced to pay for colleges and universities that can never be religiously neutral. Why? Because a religious neutral education is impossible.
( By the way, did I ever tell you that I love your screen name? It is so optimistic! )
