According to Reuters/Yahoo the ACLU "won" a victory against those who are in favour of creationism etc. Unfortunately I, as someone who believes that Evolution is generally speaking correct science, has a problem with what is reported:
In a ruling issued in Atlanta, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper said Cobb County's school board had violated the constitutional ban on the separation of church and state when it put the disclaimers on biology books in 2002.
The stickers 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."
The stickers are 100% correct. Evolution is indeed a theory or a hypothesis and not a fact. There is considerable evidence to show that evolution is in the main true, but less than there is for (say) some parts of quantum mechanics, and specific claims about evolution are regularly rebutted or criticised.
That my friends is science. Stating dogmatically that Evolution is correct and the only possible thing that can be taught is pseudo-scientific religious dogma not science. It shows how little the ACLU understands about real science and real scientists that it rejects the idea that scientific hpyotheses be "approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."
Of course teaching children to question their teachers and the world around them and to test the validity of what they are taught is practically heresy at every univresity educational faculty in the world, no matter what the political leanings of the professors. Not for nothing did Terry Pratchett Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen call the pedagogical profession "Lies to Children" Update: Andrew Clem agrees with me and makes the case in more detail (Via One Hand Clapping
