Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

"May it not suffice for me to say . . . that, of course, like every other man of intelligence and education, I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised." -former president Woodrow Wilson in 1922.


This page has a sampling of textbook disclaimer stickers for books instructing school children about evolution.

It seems the country still hasn't gotten over the nearly 80 year-old Scopes trial judging from the recent effort to roll back the teaching of evolution and infuse creationism into our schools. This is an issue affecting some Wisconsin schools and many school districts around the country.

I firmly believe teaching religion in public schools violates the establishment clause in the First Amendment. However, for the sake of argument, I'll consider agreeing to stickers on science textbooks warning that evolution is just a theory the day that folks on the other side agree to do the same for Bibles.

Alright. One day and we already have our sticker guy. Who wants to start lobbying on behalf of this cause to open minds?

Thanks for the compliments, btw. Keep on reading.
