That's because scientists see it for what it is

We see evolutionists who whine about a sticker which merely states a fact as being rabid evangelicals for their religion.

"Scientifically speaking, evolution is a theory. I wonder why the evols got their panties in a bunch."

As I aforementioned, "Besides which, by stating that 'Evolution is a theory, not a fact' misrepresents the scientific definition of a theory." The problem is that the school boards try to misrepresent the definiton of a scientific theory as "conjecture" or a "guess." The definition of scientific theory is any well-support explanation of a broad range of related phenomena, observed directly or indirectly. Theories include things like gravitation, atomic theory, relativity, quantum mechanics, heliocentricism, cell theory, germ theory, evolutionary theory, Alvarez theory, et cetra.

"That's all it said. But the evols screamed as if their firstborn were being murdered."

Correct to the first sentence. But the reason parents and teachers complained was due to the misrepresentation of the definition of a theory and the dishonest way the sticker tried to convey to the students that evolution was a "theory in crisis." Everyone knew that the intent was to start getting students looking towards Creationism.

"We see evolutionists who whine about a sticker which merely states a fact as being rabid evangelicals for their religion."

See above.
