Remove an evolution disclaimer from inside school textbooks
Humanist, March-April, 2005 by Karen Ann Gajewski
* U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper ruled in January that Cobb County School District in Atlanta, Georgia, must remove an evolution disclaimer from inside school textbooks. Adopted by the school board, funded by tax money, and inserted by school personnel, the stickers read "Evolution is a theory not a fact:' In his forty-four-page ruling, Judge Cooper said that the stickers violate the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
