taking off the stickers
us district judge clarence cooper has ordered the removal of the [in]famous “theory, not a fact” stickers from high school biology textbooks.
the full ruling is available here from the united states district court of the northern district of georgia.
cutting to the chase:
the court hereby FINDS and CONCLUDES that the Sticker adopted by the Cobb County Board of Education violates the Establishment clause of the First Amendment and Article I, Section II Paragraph VII of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
just because most of my readers won’t be familiar with the constitution of georgia, the referenced paragraph reads as follows:
Separation of church and state. No money shall ever be taken from the public treasury, directly or indirectly, in aid of any church, sect, cult, or religious denomination or of any sectarian institution.
