I agree with [[User:Reginod|Reginod]] -
(1) There are mismatched quotation marks, which should both be removed.
(2) "merely" should be removed - readers may draw their own conclusions as to whether the action was warranted, which will likely depend on how they feel about church/state issues, a question on which Christians do not all agree,
(3) the entire text of the stickers should be included. The stickers said "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." <ref>Judge: Evolution stickers unconstitutional
Markers in science textbooks violated church-state separation[http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/01/13/evolution.textbooks.ruling/]</ref> I think the entire text of the stickers should be included in the article - it's brief enough, and that way the facts are clearer.
(4) The ACLU's role should be stated more precisely,
(5) the ACLU's arguments should be described more accurately, preferably in their own words.
(6) I also think there should be link to the judge's findings in Selman v. Cobb County <ref>Selman v. Cobb County [http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/religion/selmancobb11305ord.pdf]</ref>, so that students may read his decision for themselves. Primary sources are critical when trying to understand cases like this, and when striving for academic excellence students should settle for nothing less. Let's help them find what they need so that they can excell. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 12:21, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
