The question is not answered by you. Xman already posted the proof that the fake drawings are STILL being used.

I checked a book out of the library, the copyright is pretty recent, within ten years I think. Yet there are the Haekel drawings in all their glory. As if they were true.

It's a kids book.

Yes, the drawings are still being used. It's my understanding that the NAS still uses them also.

Yet that is ok with you.

Creationists are always pretending they don't understand issues of context. That's why it's so interesting to look at the sources for their quote salads.

Haeckel is historically important and so are his drawings, which--guessing wildly here---have been reproduced in creationist books 10 to one over all other genres combined since 1990. Should creationist books be banned for perpetuating the Haeckel fraud?

Context is important. You run around telling people that (Haeckel's embryos, Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man ...) are STILL BEING cited in textbooks. Some idiots have even posted that Piltdown Man is still being used in high school textbooks.

I'm particularly dubious about claims concerning modern HS textbooks. I went to high school in a fairly backward (think "Appalachia") part of the country 40 years ago and never saw anything about Haeckel's embryos, or Piltdown Man, or Nebraska Man "STILL BEING" used, although our biology teacher did a creditable job of explaining more to us then about evolution than any creo seems to know in 2003.
