I hate agreeing with the ACLU ever, but the sticker caper was a bonehead idea from the start.

Bonehead ideas are not unconstitutional. The ACLU are a bunch of blood sucking pimps who use tactics more commonly found on the docks of New York. Extortion and bleeding communities dry are their methods of choice.

The stickers 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."

Dangerous, dangerous stuff, I realize, but what is exactly wrong with this statement.

Scientifically, I am aware that there is more than ample evidence to prove evolution is a fact in the developments within a species, but I've seen no solid evidence to indicate it is anything more than a theory insofar as the occurrence of developments between species.

Would selective breedings of a gorilla, for example, produce a more intelligent and easier to feed animal like an orangutan?

Many years of selective breeding by man by design have suceeded in turning some wild animals into domesticated versions, but they have not suceeded in changing a species. Therefore, the portion of the theory of evolution that postulates nature will eventually make changes between species through time and chance remains a theory and not a fact.

Then you must be a statist because neither the ACLU nor the federal courts have any jurisdiction as to what a local school board mandates. There is not even a religion/state issue here.

Right. The students should be smart enough to figure out that the darwinists are blowing smoke up their butts, without stickers.
