Textbook Disclaimer Stickers

Via Bookslut, I just came across this website with some nice disclaimer stickers for science textbooks. My favorite:

This sticker covers a pre-existing sticker designed to subtly undermine the teaching of evolution in your class. To see the full text of the original sticker, examine the books of children of school board members, who mandated the stickering.

The page above is on the website of Colin Purrington, a biology professor at my alma mater, Swarthmore. For some more thoughts on the debate over evolution by another Swarthmore professor, see this Cliopatria post by Timothy Burke.

I've been working on a couple of longer posts, including some thoughts on how the recent debate on conservatives in academia is related to the marginalization of academic history, but I've had lots to do of late. I may finish one or more of those posts by tomorrow, but otherwise I may not post again until after the holiday.
