SCRIVENER'S ERROR
Scrivener's Error is a truly fine blog on legal issues related to writing, in particular copyright. It also has lots of useful links. Latest few posts were about Federal Appeals Court Judge Cooper's decision that Georgia's law requiring stickers on school science books stating that evolution is just a "theory" is, yes, unconstitutional under the First Amendment, on the grounds that any reasonable person would see that the law was written to pacify the Intelligent Design mob.
Evolution is, of course, a scientific theory, but when you omit the word "scientific" and put it on a special sticker, you are obviously trying to make it sound like you mean the non-technical meaning of "theory" that is, something that is unproven and not particularly likely. They're not requiring stickers claiming that gravitation is a "theory," are they?Labels: rights
