Commentary: Seventy years ago the Communist Soviet Union, through its so-called "Courts" dictated the "truths" that scientists had to "prove" and the beliefs the Soviet People had to believe under its tyrannical rule. It seems that the arrogance of American Judges, powered by years of unbridled so-called "activism," has reached these same tyrannical depths -- as is aptly illustrated by the following ruling. - Rev.

(1/13/05) AP- ATLANTA, Ga.  — A federal judge Thursday ordered a suburban Atlanta school system to remove stickers from its high school biology textbooks that call evolution (search) "a theory, not a fact," saying the disclaimers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

"By denigrating evolution, the school board appears to be endorsing the well-known prevailing alternative theory, creationism or variations thereof, even though the sticker does not specifically reference any alternative theories," U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper (search) said.

The stickers were put inside the books' front covers by public school officials in Cobb County in 2002. They 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."

The Judge is reported to have said: "While evolution is subject to criticism, particularly with respect to the mechanism by which it occurred, the sticker misleads students regarding the significance and value of evolution in the scientific community."
