AP Is Reporting A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against a school district’s practice of posting disclaimers inside science textbooks saying evolution is “a theory, not a fact.”
The Cobb County schools’ disclaimer, in the form of a sticker on the inside front cover of textbooks, could have the effect of advancing or inhibiting religion, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper ruled in ordering the suit to go to trial.
Helena Montana has a similar situation. A national organization that bills itself as a “religious liberty watchdog group” has asked Darby school officials for all documents related to the school board’s recent decision to change its teaching of evolution in science classes.
uh boy
I liked the comment I heard someone on NPR make about this. Evolution is a theory the way other things in science are a theory. The problem is that people don’t understand what a theory is…
I wish they’d be consistent and make stickers for ALL the theories in ALL textbooks. No one seems to be advocating THAT.
