The statement on the sticker is not an endorsement of Religion, (which what the judge ruled) but does point out that Evolution is a "THEORY" and Theory is not Fact. The version of Evolution taught in the Darwin school of thought is itself not the only possible science explanation. The sticker doesn't mention God, nor does it address 'Intelligent Design' theory. The sticker only points out that Evolution is a THEORY and "should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered" shouldn't all scientific theory be studied and considered? Before 1492 everyone accepted the theory for fact that the earth was flat, and you know what happened. If a Bible class was studied in school, I wouldn't have problem with a sticker saying it was a belief and should be "studied" or "approached with an open mind". If you were buying a used car and the salesman said it was "like new" would you accept his theory as fact and buy over the phone? Or would you want to study the car in person and make up your on mind.

The fact that the sticker singled out Evolution is what revealed it to be a fig leaf for Creationism.

Wrong. Educated people have known that the earth is round for thousand of years. Luckily for us, they did not allow any 'flat earth stickers' to be added to the scrolls of the Library of Alexandria.

A scientific theory isn't the same as a jbwbubba theory.

Why is the Theory of Evolution the only theory that should be "stickerized"? How about a sticker for gravity?

I know the answer, and I believe that you do to. But it's only a theory.
