How so? She isn't a high school student so she isn't the target of the stickers. She seems to agree with the Pope, that Christianity and evolution are not in conflict. How do you get from that fact to the presumed need for these stickers?

Removing the stickers and not reading the ID document are
precisely the answer, Brad, because this whole effort is nothing but an attempt to teach about God in science classrooms. God is a supernatural entity, he cannot be studied empirically.
There's nothing wrong with teaching about God in schools. Of course, everyone's rights must be respected and that means that no particular view of God can be advanced by the schools or the teachers, but there's nothing preventing them from teaching kids about widely held beliefs. However, for the same reason you don't teach about Mozart in spelling class you don't teach about God in science class.
