Luskin is one of the authors of the current teach ID scam bait. In the
teach ID scam propaganda Luskin claims that the Dover decision was
wrong, that the ID science exists to teach, and that even though ID was
found to be no science worth teaching in Kitzmiller, that it is still
legal to teach the junk out side of the middle federal court district of
PA. Luskin is currently the ID perp designated to make sure that the
bait and switch scam goes down on any creationist rubes that believe his
teach ID scam propaganda. All Luskin gives the rubes that take his bait
is the obfuscation and denial switch scam that the ID perps claim has
nothing to do with ID or creationism.

This is the current Educator's Briefing Packet coauthored by Luskin.

In the anniversary article Luskin claims that the ID scam unit was
founded Aug 2, 1996. It has existed for 30 years, and intelligent
design has been used only as bait since 2002. No ID science has ever
been produced by the ID perps even though they keep lying about having
the ID science to teach in the public schools. When you read the
anniversary article, you should think about the fact that Luskin is also
the coauthor of the current teach ID scam propaganda, and he is the
designated ID perp that makes sure that the bait and switch goes down on
any creationist rubes that believe what he wrote about being able to
teach the junk. Luskin is the ID perp that got into the news running
the bait and switch on the West Virginia legislator in 2024.

The bait and switch is all intelligent design has ever been used for.
The bait and switch has had to go down in every instance where
creationist rubes have believed the ID perps about the non existent ID science.

This is the original mission statement that the ID perps started with,
and was essentially repeated in their Wedge fund raising document. They
claim to want to recreate a theocracy that likely never existed in the
United States. When the Wedge document was exposed most of the ID perps
tried to deny it, but Jay Richards was the program director at the time,
and he said that there was nothing to deny, and it was the program that
he was directing and pointed out the ID perp's mission statement as
evidence that the Wedge claims were consistent with the ID perp's mission.

The wayback link has the picture of God and Adam in the then logo of the
ID scam unit.

The actual Wedge document also has the logo of God and Adam.

The Wedge document had a 5 year goal of getting ID taught in 10 states.

Why isn't that in the 30th anniversary article for the ID scam unit?
They may have made that goal if they had not started running the bait
and switch instead, March 2002.

The ID perps did not make any of their 20 year goals:

To see intelligent design theory as the dominant perspective in science.

To see design theory application in specific fields, including molecular biology, biochemistry, paleontology, physics and cosmology in the
natural sciences, psychology, ethics, politics, theology and philosophy
in the humanities; to see its influence in the fine arts.

To see design theory permeate our religious, cultural, moral and
political life.

They came close to accomplishing the last one. Today the ID perps have
made Intelligent Design into a well recognized euphemism for Biblical creationism, and ID's immoral values permeates a significant bit of
current creationist politics, religion and culture.
