"Ga.
Evolution Stickers Ordered Removed"
Since 2002, Dr. Kenneth Miller has been upset that biology textbooks he has
written are slapped with a warning sticker by the time they appear in suburban
Atlanta schools. Evolution, the stickers say, is ``a theory, not a fact.''
``What it tells students is that we're certain of everything else in this
book except evolution,'' said Miller, a professor of biology at Brown University,
who with Joseph S. Levine has authored three texts for high schoolers.
On Thursday, Miller -- along with fellow teachers and scientists -- cheered
a federal judge's ruling that ordered the Cobb County school board to immediately
remove the stickers and never again hand them out in any form.
