Judge: Remove Evolution Textbook Stickers
Thursday, January 13, 2005
ATLANTA — A federal judge Thursday ordered a suburban Atlanta school system to remove stickers from its high school biology textbooks that call evolution (search) "a theory, not a fact," saying the disclaimers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.
"By denigrating evolution, the school board appears to be endorsing the well-known prevailing alternative theory, creationism or variations thereof, even though the sticker does not specifically reference any alternative theories," U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper (search) said.
