School board abandons evolution sticker case
POSTED: 10:16 a.m. EST, December 20, 2006
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A suburban school board that put stickers in high school science books saying evolution is "a theory, not a fact" abandoned its legal battle to keep them Tuesday after four years.
The Cobb County board agreed in federal court never to use a similar sticker or to undermine the teaching of evolution in science classes.
In return, the parents who sued over the stickers agreed to drop all legal action.
"We certainly think that it's a win not just for our clients but for all students in Cobb County and, really, all residents of Georgia," said Beth Littrell of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia.
The school board placed the stickers inside the front cover of biology books in 2002 after a group of parents complained that evolution was being taught to the exclusion of other theories, including a literal reading of the biblical story of creation.
The stickers read: "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."
A federal judge ordered the stickers removed in 2005, saying they amount to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. The school board appealed, but a federal appeals court sent the case back, saying it did not have enough information.
"We faced the distraction and expense of starting all over with more legal actions and another trial," said board chairwoman Teresa Plenge. "With this agreement, it is done and we now have a clean slate for the new year."
School board attorney Linwood Gunn said the agreement is not an admission that the stickers were unconstitutional. "The school board attempted to reach what they thought was a reasonable compromise," he said.
The board agreed to pay about one-third of the plaintiffs' court costs, Gunn said.
"The settlement brings to end a long battle to keep our science classes free of political or religious agendas," parent Jeffrey Selman said in a statement handed out by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, one of the groups that represented the plaintiffs.
It was one of several recent battles over what role evolution should play in science education.
Last year, a federal judge barred the Dover, Pennsylvania, school district from teaching "intelligent design" as an alternative to evolution. Also last year, the Kansas state school board adopted standards critical of evolution, but several of the members who pushed that plan were ousted by voters this year.
In 2004, Georgia's state schools superintendent briefly proposed a science curriculum that dropped the word "evolution" in favor of "changes over time." That plan was scrapped amid protests by teachers.
Cobb County has a population of about 660,000.

I don't see what's so new about this. Hasn't Georgia always been a cesspit of unacceptable liberalism?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

I used to admire Georgia for their excellent prison system, their concealed carry laws, and their nighttime displays of flaming crosses. But somehow I knew that one day their mostly liberal politics would catch up with them and lead to Satanism.

Godly words Brother. They can just as burn down their own churches and well call themselves East California after this latest outrage. People wonder how the Demoncrats can take control of Congress with this kind of depravity lose in the nation?
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

There is more evedince to prove evolution then to prove the biblical creation. Though Adam and eve exsisted though they were a group of people not just 2.

Two people were not two people but a group? I'm not surprised, because anyone who buys into the evilutionist lie can't be thinking too clearly.

God guides evolution, and the earth is over a billion years old, guided by the hand of god.
Edit: Too bad I'm banned, so I can't back my evilutionist lies up with anything.

Have you even read any of the number of threads explaining exactly that?
Eviloution is wrong because it is false. GOD created the Earth and all the life on it. Eviloutionists say life came from rocks but it is a fact that life cannot come from non-life. They also say it takes millions of years for something to evolve but as the Earth is only 6000 years old then that is not possible.
Search the forum and you will find many explainations of what is wrong with evolutions, most of which are better worded than mine as I'm not the best with explaining things like that.

You didn't pay attention in the biology class, we do not come from rocks
On earth there was a kind of mix between some chemical stuff, and from that the first life form came.

So you expect us to abandon Jesus and worship "some chemical stuff"?
Can you prove any of this, or do you think we'll just go along with such absurdity....
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I don't want to be blasphemous, but it's a little bit less absurd to believe in chemical stuff, than to believe in a guy who is dead for 2000 years.

Then where did this "chemical stuff" come from? Also, last I checked chemicals aren't alive (at least I don't think the bleach under my kitchen sink is alive) and even scientists say life can't come from non-life.
Since life cannot come from non-life and since both rocks and chemicals aren't alive then GOD must have created life.

Gee, Professor Dud, could you dumb it down for us a little? That high falutin' science talk is certainly convincing enough, but I'm having trouble understanding it.

You obviously haven't read your Bible, sonny. Jesus died temporarily, but was resurrected after three days! Glory! He lives even now, and you anger him more each day.
