"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."
No shit.
I was taught the "Theory of Evolution." No one ever told me that it was the only answer to existence. No one had to tell me that I should "carefully consider" other options either. That's basic science!
Scientific Method calls for careful consideration of all hypotheses. An hypothesis becomes a theory after it's been carefully tested repeatedly, and when each trial results in the same conclusion. A theory then becomes a law when all other alternatives have been proved incorrect. It's not the LAW of evolution, it's the THEORY of evolution. It's STATED CLEARLY in the terminology.
You don't have to cram it down our throats that you're a Christian Fundamentalist and that your opions are just as valid and should be heard. That's freedom of speech and it's stated within the 1st amendment to the United States Constitution. We KNOW that your voice should be heard. We allow it. Now allow OUR voice to be heard. Stop trying to drown out others' opinions by constantly talking over them.
By the way, shouldn't we also be teaching Reincarnation as an alternative as well? Let's not be selective now. I'm glad the judge ruled the disclaimer stickers as unconstitutional. They are!
