Evolution is questioned, Retards are Spotted

"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 2002, officials in Cobb county, Georgia, slapped the above disclaimer on biology textbooks after more than 2,000 parents protested that evoloution was being treated as a fact, not a theory. The American Civil Liberties Union and the parents of five students filed a lawsuit in response, stating that the stickers were unconstitutional, violating the separation of church and state. Currently, the suit is before a U.S. district court in Georgia
The growing debate over the inclusion of such "alternative creation theories" as Intelligent Design has alarmed many scientists, who see these proposals as the first step to teaching creationism in science classes. Colin Purringtion, who teaches evolutionary biology at Swarthmore College, often encounters students who have little schooling in the basic theory of how life developed on Earth. "I get students in my classes who never learned evolution," he says, "or who had a high school teacher say, 'I have to teach you this, but i dont buy it.'"
Frustrated, Purrington felt that he had to do something. So, borrowing the creationists' tactic, he crafted alternative "disclaimer" stickers to be affixed to schience textbooks for the ACLU to give to the parents who brought the suit against Cobb County, for their enjoyment," he says. And for your enjoyment, a few are excerpted below.
>>This book was anonymously donated to your school library to discreetly promote religious alternatives to evolution. When you are finished with it, please return it to the fiction section.
>>This textbook contains material about special relativity. Special relativity is a scientific theory, and very few scientists fully understand it. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.
>>This textbook suggests that Earth is spherical. The shape of Earth is a controversial topic, and not all people accept the theory. This material should be approached carefully, and critically considered.
>>This textbook claims the evolution is not fully accepted becuse it is just a theory. The author hopes to fonfuse you into equating "scientific theory" with "cockamamie theory." to read a short blurb on what a scientific theory is, go to: wilstar.com/theories.htm.
>>This book does not contain the word evolution, the unifying principal in biology, and an important component of the National Science Standards and the Scholastic Acheivement Test (SAT). Mor an overview of that your class is missing, go to: evolution.berkely.edu.
More trouble spouted by the bible belt...(coutesty of fuckthesouth.com, by way of THE kelly clancy)
Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.
