But that wasn't what was going on here, ktsnake. It was a little sticker that said evolution was a theory, that's all. If it listed all of the religious doctrines outlined by the Christians then MAYBE that would be too much. Again, though, creationism is not just some fairytale told to kids at bedtime. It is a major belief that resides so deeply in the hearts and minds of countless numbers of people in this country and the world. It also serves as the core for much of the bases of ideals in this country. SO, I still think that if the text books are going to discuss one theory of human/life development, and this government wants to be so fair, then mentioning the FACT that evolution is a theory is at the very least acceptable.
The sticker didn't even go that far into the subject and didn't make mention of any specific religions. Of course we know what the point was, but all it did was point out that evolution is not the only perspective on human development that is out there.
