Cobb County

The following news clip appeared in my inbox today:

A federal judge in Georgia has ruled that schools in Cobb County must
remove from science textbooks stickers that say "evolution is a theory,
not a fact" that should be "approached with an open mind, studied
carefully, and critically considered."
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/14/national/14sticker.html

I understand that one of the reasons for the decision must have been that
the stickers were put there because of "religious motivations." But even
as a "card carrying member of the ACLU," I am really unable to understand
the ruling. (1) I don't see that the stickers do any harm and (2) what
they claim is, at least with some definitions of "evolution," patently
true. (3) The advice given is simply good "scientific skepticism," and is
properly applied to any and all areas of human knowledge.

Maybe someone can enlighten me. <G>
