It seems strange that the ID perps would want to rewrite history at this late date.-a Why lie about something this stupid?-a The Wedge document listed getting the ID scam taught in 10 states as one of the 5 year Objectives of the Wedge strategy.-a The Wedge document was supposed to
have been published in 1998, and they might have made that objective if
they had not started running the bait and switch instead of providing
the nonexistent ID science for the creationist rubes to teach.

The ID perps were "the" organization selling the teach ID scam when

ID scam propaganda from their web site when the bait and switch started
to go down and were only pushing the obfuscation and denial switch scam

The Dover rubes didn't know it but they were following the ID perp's
game plan when they purchased Of Pandas and People in order to teach ID
in their public schools.
The ID perps published a booklet on teaching the ID scam junk in the
public schools in 1999 and it is still available at ARN and they have
never retracted what was written in this document.-a They used to give
the booklet out along with their ID scam video until they started
running the bait and switch.-a The guide book is still available at ARN
and was available to down load from the the ID perp's web site when
Dover hit the fan.

Teaching the Controversy:
Darwinism, Design and the Public School Science Curriculum
David K. DeWolf, Stephen C. Meyer, Mark E. DeForrest https://www.arn.org/docs/dewolf/guidebook.htm
QUOTE from the Conclusion:
Moreover, as the previous discussion demonstrates, school boards have
the authority to permit, and even encourage, teaching about design
theory as an alternative to Darwinian evolution-and this includes the
use of textbooks such as Of Pandas and People that present evidence for
the theory of intelligent design.
END QUOTE:
DeWolf was head of legal for the Discovery Institute.-a Meyer was the director of the ID scam unit and Deforrest claimed to be a fellow of the Discovery Institute on his web page, but I do not think that he was ever listed as a fellow of the ID scam unit on the Discovery Institute web page.
This is why the name change from creationism to intelligent design demonstrated the ID scam to be just what it had been from the beginning,
-awarmed over creationist stupidity.
Dembski was editing the next edition of Pandas, Meyer had written the teachers notes for the textbook, and Behe admitted that he had written
some of it, but had not been credited.-a After Forrest's deposition
(Dembski sat in on the deposition) both Dembski and Meyer ran and did
not testify.-a Drafts of Dembski's edition had also been sobpoenaed but
that issue was dropped when Dembski ran.
There is absolutely no doubt that the ID perps at the Discovery
Institute were the main drivers of the Teach ID bait and switch scam at
the time that Dover hit the fan.-a They tried to run the bait and switch
on the Dover rubes, but the Dover rubes were too stupid and ignorant to understand that the ID perps were the ones running the teach ID scam,
and they would not bend over for the switch scam and tried to teach ID anyway.
Ex Senator Santorum had, had the bait and switch run on him in Ohio in
2002, but still came out in support of his Santorum "amendment" and supported teaching ID in the Dover public schools of his home state. The
ID perps had to run the bait and switch on Santorum again, and he flip- flopped on the issue during his reelection campaign and his Republican rivals took advantage and questioned Santorum's religious convictions
for refusing to support teaching ID in the public schools. That was also
a stab in the heart of the creationist lies about the ID science. Santorum's Republican rivals knew that the ID scam was a religious
issue.-a Santorum quit the ID scam and when he ran for President he
claimed that he supported Biblical creationism and not ID.
