Faith ideas to be discussed by Cobb school board

MARIETTA - The Cobb County Board of Education plans to discuss Thursday night whether teachers should be allowed to teach faith-based ideas along with evolution. <br> <br> The discussion comes a day after the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit seeking to force the Cobb County school board to remove disclaimers on evolution from thousands of middle and high school textbooks. <br> <br> The stickers were placed in new science books this month after requests from parents opposed to evolution on religious grounds. <br> <br> The father of an elementary school student -- Jeffrey Selman -- initiated the lawsuit. He said placing advisories in science texts is an attempt to inject religion into public schools in violation of the separation of church and state.
