On The Axis of Evo<\/a> blog, Colin Purrington points out that Alabama puts a disclaimer sticker<\/a> into the front of its science textbooks… since 1996. He’d like it to stop. I’d like it to stop. You should like it to stop.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Colin is trying to do.<\/p>\n

So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like your help in advertising this silliness so that the media might care, which it currently doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t: I want to collect high-quality photographs of students showing the disclaimer but who are also doing something like eye-rolling, gagging, or vomiting. Or just expressions of honest disbelief on his\/her face while the student holds the book open to the offending disclaimer.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone in Alabama who might be able to help me out? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d normally nudge friends at Alabama Citizens for Science Education, but its web site (http:\/\/www.alscience.org\/<\/a>) seems expired. Perhaps they were besieged by an angry mob with pitchforks.\u00c2\u00a0 God help them.<\/p>\n

Send me your photographs, science fans. Do it for the children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you can help out, or know someone who can, contact Colin via his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the sticker in question…<\/p>\n
