ATLANTA (AP) - A federal judge on Thursday ordered the removal of
stickers placed in high school biology textbooks that call evolution
``a theory, not a fact.''
The judge ruled that the disclaimers put in the books by Cobb County
school officials in 2002 were unconstitutional.
Parents and the American Civil Liberties Union had challenged the
stickers in court, arguing they violated the constitutional separation
of church and state.
