Selman, et al. v. Cobb County School District, United States District Court for Northern Georgia, Judge Clarence Cooper, January 13, 2005 [ruling that the Cobb County School District in Atlanta must remove an evolution disclaimer inside textbooks]. Excerpt:
In the instant case, it is undisputed that the Cobb County School Board used the money of taxpayers to produce and place the Sticker in dispute in certain of the Cobb County School District science textbooks. This Sticker aids the beliefs of Christran fundamentalists and creationists. In light of the prior interpretation of the Georgia Constitution provision challenged by the Plaintiffs and given the Court's conclusion above that the Sticker violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the Court likewise concludes that the Sticker runs afoul of the Georgia Constitution.
