Okay, usually I'm not one to defend creationism, but this seems a little over-the-top:
Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional
MSNBC reports that a judge in Atlanta, GA has ruled that a sticker placed on all textbooks in Cobb County stating that 'Evolution is a theory, not a fact,' is unconstitutional, and ordered that all stickers be removed.
The stickers, approved by the local Board of Ed, say: "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."
A federal judge found that to be state-sponsored endorsement of creationism? That's ridiculous. I mean, go ahead and order that the stickers be modified to mention that creationism is a theory too, but don't just say it's unconstitutional and remove them all.
