Warning Stickers on Textbooks

I won't say, "for once", but here is something the ACLU did that I agree with: they successfully sued to get warning stickers removed from Atlanta's biology textbooks. The stickers insisted on by creationists challenging evolution said, in part:

This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered.

[Thanks to Lisa at London Fog for the pointer; Dave Friedman has some additional links.]

I love the part of the warning sticker that I quoted above. I wish publishers would put a sticker like that in nearly all textbooks.

What I don't love, is the part that preceded it:

This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things.

Let's extend such warnings to other textbooks. Here are some that might be reasonable:

• Warning! This textbook contains arguments that gubmnts do good things. That is just a theory, not fact.
• Warning! This textbook teaches socionomology. That is just a theory (in the loosest sense of the definition), not fact.
• Warning! This textbook teaches "rational maximization". That is just a theory, not fact.

Also, see this New Yorker Cartoon.

Update: Tom Hanna thinks the warning sticker quoted at the beginning of this post should be placed on a banner for every school!
