Let me guess, you bought the spin. An internal DI document labeled "Top Secret" and "Not For Distribution" was leaked detailing their plans. Obviously they didn't want anybody to know of their plans, yet now we do. Meyer had to finally admit its authenticity. After that the DI went on a massive spin campaign to downplay it. That's what organizations usually do when they get caught.
especially in relation to Dover, which, as I demonstrated, was rejected by the Discovery Institute.
Read again: Started by the Discovery Institute as part of their "teach the controversy" program. They only withdrew after they saw they had a losing case.
So show your "conspiratorial" facts.
Wedge Document, Phase III, second sentence: "We will also pursue possible legal assistance in response to resistance to the integration of design theory into public school science curricula."
In response to criticisms the DI said in their "So What" refutation, "others have invented and then hyped a supposed secrecy" about the strategy. Supposed secrecy? The document was marked "Top Secret" so the DI obviously intended secrecy.
You've been guessing all along so why stop now. No, no spin. And you are either lying or incorrect about the "Top Secret".. Look for yourself...
That said, this is not about "The Wedge" this is about Scopes as a conspiracy and your alledged conspiracy involving DI in the Dover case. So far you have struck out. You will notice that the vote about ID occurred on Oct 18, 2004 and DI stepped away from the vote when asked on Nov 12, 2004. What the vote in Oct. stated was ....Students will be made aware of the gaps/problems in Darwin's theory and of other theories of evolution including, but not limited to, intelligent design. Note: Origins of life is not taught." This is what DI would not support on Nov 12. Then on Nov 19 the Dover Area School District made a press release which included...
The Pennsylvania Academic Standards require students to learn about Darwin's theory of evolution and eventually to take a standardized test of which evolution is a part.
Because Darwin's Theory is a theory, it is still being tested as new evidence is discovered. The Theory is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence. A theory is defined as a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.
Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People is available for students to see if they would like to explore this view in an effort to gain an understanding of what intelligent design actually involves.
As is true with any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind. The school leaves the discussion of the origins of life to individual students and their families. As a standards-driven district, class instruction focuses upon preparing students to achieve proficiency on standards-based assessments.
The ACLU then sued on behalf of 11 parents on Dec 14, 2004. NCSE was involved in the plaintiff's side by their own admission. They started looking at Dover in Jun 2004, four months before the Oct vote on the inclusion of a statement.

B.S. prove it. I told you that NCSE was triggered on the Dover situation in Jun. It had nothing to do with DI.
Wedge Document, Phase III, second sentence: "We will also pursue possible legal assistance in response to resistance to the integration of design theory into public school science curricula."
When was phase three supposed to occur? (And that was in this "Top secret" document which was not labeled so). Put your money where your mouth is. Show me the marked "Top Secret" document and show me the involvement of DI in this conspiracy that NCSE sniffed out in Jun.
