Ga. County Removing Evolution Stickers

MARIETTA, Ga. - Workers in Cobb County have begun removing controversial evolution disclaimer stickers from science textbooks to comply with a judge's order.

By the end of the day Monday, several thousand stickers, which said evolution was a theory and not a fact, had been scraped off. The school district had put 34,452 stickers on textbooks across the county.

The evolution disclaimers read: "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."

Six parents sued to remove the stickers saying the disclaimers violated the principle of the separation of church and state. A federal judge in January agreed and ordered the stickers removed.

An appeal by the school system, north of Atlanta, is pending.

"It's a sad day in Cobb County," said Larry Taylor, a parent who favors including alternatives to evolution in science classes. "I hate to see the stickers go. I thought they were a fair compromise."

But Jeffrey Selman, who was the lead parent among a group who sued to remove the stickers, said he was glad they were being removed. "I'm optimistic, but it ain't over till it's over," Selman said.

So now its a crime and a "violation of the constitution" to point out the fact that evolution is a baseless theory with no supporting evidence?

This is just plain Stalinesque censorship.

That is what I thought when I first read this article today.

Bless you Constant.

Regarding the article, I am always amazed at the hypocrisy of folks like these who sued to have the stickers removed.

They say they do not believe but yet they are intimidated by a stone monument with the Ten Commandments on them or in this case a sticker. What do they fear? Geez...it is a sticker that states the truth. Maybe they fear the truth????

They say that they are open minded but yet they stifle the truth and allow a theory to be promoted as a fact. That is wrong period regardless of your beliefs.

They say they are "tolerant" but yet they are not tolerant of my right to not tolerate certain behaviors and promotion of a lie as a fact.

It is ironic. My conclusion? They fear the TRUTH.

They were just stickers stating: Warning, evolution theory inside. I really don't see the problem with that but people have to complain about something. You are right about people being affraid of truth!
