Laughingstock
Ben Currier, a student in the Cobb County, Georgia school district where evolution disclaimer stickers were placed inside the front cover of Biology textbooks, told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that, "Cobb schools have become an embarrassment in a state that is already an embarrassment nationally, based on test scores. It is disheartening that we are the laughingstock of the laughingstock.

"When students look to our school board, we think, "Is this really the best we can do?" Overall, I am ashamed of being a Cobb County student."
