Abstract: A US federal judge ordered the school board of Cobb County, an affluent district north of Atlanta, to immediately remove stickers from its school science textbooks that had informed students that \\\"the theory of evolution was not a fact and should be viewed critically.\\\" According to the Toronto Star, a father of 10-year-old who moved there from New York, fought against the school board and some 2,300 parents, saying that he is not prepared to live in a theocracy where the views of a militant minority are foisted on everyone.
