ACLU and Teachers Against Critical Thinking

The ACLU won a court battle to have some stickers removed from science textbooks in Georgia, which 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.

The reason they are enraged is because someone might dare to have an open mind and think critically, because ACLU power is based on ignorance, hatred, intolerance, and bigotry. Perish the thought that they would ever fight for America or Liberty.

UPDATE: See also Scrappleface's take on this story.

UPDATE 2: Even Berkeley admits evolution is just a theory!

UPDATE 3: Dr. John Mark Reynolds states the case more clearly, and expands on it.

Truly amazing. If you think you are living in a free country, you are mistaken. An unelected group can at a whim prevent your children from reading even a single sentence that is deemed as potentially threatening to their ideology, you may face 47 years of imprisonment for reading from your religious text in public. . . you know as time goes on they are only going to become bolder in their efforts to efface our existence from public life.
