I hate it. I don't believe it is true.
But......should they be allowed to do so?????
You betcha' they should. An elected school board instituting the will of the people they represent?
Now....the opposite response from the Fascists....er, Liberals:
2. In 1996, the Alabama State Board of Education voted to place labels inside biology textbooks stating (in part): “This textbook discusses evolution, a controversial theory some scientists present as a scientific explanation for the origin of living things, such as plants, animals, and humans. No one was present when life first appeared on Earth. Therefore, any statement about life’s origins should be considered as theory, not fact.” The labels continued: “Evolution also refers to the unproven belief that random, undirected forces produced a world of living things.” Norris Anderson, “The Alabama Insert: A Call for Impartial Science,” Access Research Network, May 15, 1996. Available online (June 2006) at: The Alabama Insert - A Call for Impartial Science: Anderson, Norris.
The Liberals went to court and stopped them.
3. In 2002, the Board of Education in Cobb County, Georgia, placed stickers inside their biology textbooks stating: “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.”
In August 2002, the pro-Darwin American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit calling the stickers an unconstitutional establishment of religion. “Text of Cobb County Disclaimer,” Approved by Cobb County Board of Education, Thursday, March 28, 2002. Available online (June 2006) at:
.
In January 2005, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper sided with the ACLU and ruled that “the distinction of evolution as a theory rather than a fact is the distinction that religiously motivated individuals have specifically asked school boards to make in the most recent anti-evolution movement.... Therefore, the sticker must be removed from all of the textbooks into which it has been placed.”
“Judge: Evolution Stickers Unconstitutional,” CNN (January 13, 2005). Available online (June 2006) at: http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/01/13/evolution.textbooks.ruling/index.html. “Background Information on Cobb County School District v. Selman,” Discovery Institute, December 16, 2005. Available online (June 2006) at: Background Information on Cobb County School District v. Selman
A Board of Education, elected by the people of Georgia, had made a decision to apprise student about a fact….that Darwin is theory, and not a proven fact.
True, and innocuous.....but dangerous according to the neo-Marxists of the ACLU and the judiciary.
4. “Louisiana’s statute never went into effect because a federal judge promptly held it unconstitutional as an “establishment of religion.” In 1987 the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed this decision by a seven to two majority. The Louisiana law was unconstitutional, said the majority opinion by Justice William Brennan, because its purpose “was clearly to advance the religious viewpoint that a supernatural being created humankind.”
Not so, said the dissenting opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia, because “The people of Louisiana, including those who are Christian fundamentalists, are quite entitled, as a secular matter, to have whatever scientific evidence there may be against evolution presented in their schools, just as Mr. Scopes was entitled to present whatever scientific evidence there was for it.
…the Louisiana legislature had acted on the premise that legitimate scientific objections to “evolution” were being suppressed. Some might doubt that such objections exist, ….considering that the state had been given no opportunity to show what balanced treatment would mean in practice.
In addition, the creation-scientists were arguing that the teaching of evolution itself had a religious objective, namely to discredit the idea that a supernatural being created mankind. Taking all this into account, Justice Scalia thought that the Constitution permitted the legislature to give people offended by the allegedly dogmatic teaching of evolution a fair opportunity to reply.” Johnson, Op. Cit.
As a conservative, Scalia was pro-freedom, pro-liberty. Brennan, on the other side, despised the United States Constitution, as so many Liberals do.
