In 2004, Georgia's school superintendent proposed a statewide science curriculum that dropped the word evolution in favour of changes over time. That plan was soon scrapped amid protests from teachers.
I'm an IDr myself, and I don't see a problem with the stickers, either. They should've been left in place. I fail to see how mentioning that evolution is a theory and not a proven fact is somehow a violation of separation of church and state (unless yoou're a member of the Church of Evolution is an Indisputable Fact). But this is kinda dumb. A duck is a duck and I'm going to call it a duck. It's called Theory of Evolution. Calling it by its name doesn't mean you have to believe in it.

As long as the sticker includes the SCIENTIFIC definiton of a theory, I wouldn't have a problem with the stickers either.

Just so folks don't go getting the notion that any of them are "theory and not proven fact"??
