Quote from the stickers: This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered.”

mm: Is that not how other theories in science are treated?

CW:No.

mm:Are you really saying that other theories in science are not approached with an open mind, are not studied carefully, are not critically considered?

CW: How many stickers should we put on the front of the textbooks?

MM:None. We should be putting none on because there should be no need to. If science were being taught properly in public schools and in the textbooks, there would be no need for reminders like that. But considering the pitiful state of science textbooks that public schools use, I suppose that reminders like that ARE necessary.

Your post contradicts itself. If you believe that science is not taught properly, they you believe that there is a need for stickers on the books.
