I won't call hard-core evolutionists a group of liars even though schoolchildren are still treated to Haeckel's drawing of embryos

Citation of this still happening with context of their presentation.

and fairy-tale stories of moths pinned to British trees.

Explaination of what the "fairy-tale story" involved is please.

Just a short search showed me that Ken Miller and Joe Levine were still using it in their textbooks prior to 1998. I'd be willing to wager an adult beverage that there are kids in this country still using on of the 4 older editions.

And why the heck did it take 5 editions for Miller and Levine to recognize that Haeckel's embryos were fudged in the first place?

Explaination of what the "fairy-tale story" involved is please.

Textbook writers Miller and Levine backpedal on the famous peppered moth experiments. Apparently they've decided that the experiments were fake but mostly accurate.
