But none of them has a "right" to taxpayer money to try to present their crap in classrooms as though it were science.

LOL Typical evol response. I'm sure you'd get your knickers all in a twist over a sticker on the science book which says, 'Evolution is a theory.'

That's because scientists see it for what it is: baby steps into promoting creationism. Besides which, by stating that "Evolution is a theory, not a fact" misrepresents the scientific definition of a theory.

If it's going to be taught in science class, it has to be science. Anti-evo activists, whether creationists or ID-ists, will actually have to come up with a theory that allows them to make predictions, falsification criteria, research programs, etc, and then show to the satisfaction of a skeprical audience that their new thingy actually explains more than current theory does. Until all that hard work is done, they won't be taken seriously be biologists or other scientists, and are inappropriate for HS science classes.

I'm sure you'd get your knickers all in a twist over a sticker on the science book which says, 'Evolution is a theory.'

If that were all it said, it would be redundant, as the text would also call it the Theory of Evolution.

So maybe, in reality, it says something else.

I assume the sticker has the names of all the elected and appointed officials responsible for its existence.
