This post is not about the theory of evolution. That’s a topic for another time. What has me confused is from this AP story, Ga. school district abandons stickers.
Here is the core of the case:
The school board placed the stickers on the cover of biology books in 2002 after a group of parents complained that evolution was being taught to the exclusion of other theories, including the Biblical story of creation.
And this is the text of those stickers:
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.
Straightforward enough, I would think. Then again I’m not a federal judge.
A federal judge ordered the stickers removed in 2005, saying they amount to an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. [my bold]
Please, can anyone show me where the text of that sticker endorses religion? I’m just not seeing it.
