I found an archived copy of the bait and switch report.

[RonO]

I found an archived copy of the bait and switch report written by
Jonathan Wells about when the ID perps went to Ohio and ran the first
bait and switch scam on the Ohio State board of education in 2002. The
original link went broken and the IDiot Nyikos tried to take advantage
of that claiming that the report that I cited was "hearsay". Nyikos has
been in denial that the bait and switch happened since he returned to TO
in 2010. Unfortunately for Nyikos I hadn't just cited the report, but I
later went back and put in quotes from the report to support what the
report said, and Nyikos ran after finding that out. Wells was one of
the ID perps who personally participated in the first bait and switch on
IDiot rubes, and this was his report of the event.

Initially I could not find an archived copy of the report because I was
using the link for the creationist web site that had posted it. What I
should have done is use the link for the report itself. When I did that
Wayback did have an archived copy.

This isn't the usual link that I use. It is a link to an old Discovery
Institute web page when this booklet was still free to download at the
Discovery Institute from Jan 2003 (less than a year after the bait and
switch started to go down). It is a link to the 1999 publication by the
ID perps on teaching ID in the public schools. You have to click on the
"click here" link on this page to get to the pdf of the booklet. This
was how the Discovery Institute was selling the teach ID scam back then.
It should not be lost on any IDiot, as lost as Nyikos that still want
to deny that the bait and switch is a fact of life even though it keeps
going down whenever any IDiot wants to teach the junk, that this booklet
used to be available directly from the Discovery Institute as one of the
education web pages on teaching the controversy.

QUOTE:
9. Conclusion
Local school boards and state education officials are frequently
pressured to avoid teaching the controversy regarding biological
origins. Indeed, many groups, such as the National Academy of Sciences,
go so far as to deny the existence of any genuine scientific controversy
about the issue.(162) Nevertheless, teachers should be reassured that
they have the right to expose their students to the problems as well as
the appeal of Darwinian theory. 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.
The controlling legal authority, the Supreme Court's decision in
Edwards v. Aguillard, explicitly permits the inclusion of alternatives
to Darwinian evolution so long as those alternatives are based on
scientific evidence and not motivated by strictly religious concerns.
Since design theory is based on scientific evidence rather than
religious assumptions, it clearly meets this test. Including discussions
of design in the science curriculum thus serves an important goal of
making education inclusive, rather than exclusionary. In addition, it
provides students with an important demonstration of the best way for
them as future scientists and citizens to resolve scientific
controversies--by a careful and fair-minded examination of the evidence.
END QUOTE:

The recommended use of Of Pandas and People to teach the IDiot junk in
the public schools just foreshadows the Dover fiasco.

I usually put up Santorum's editorial written a few days before the bait
and switch went down to show how the IDiots believed the ID scam was
going to be taught in the public schools and that they did not expect
the bait and switch to go down and only be stuck with a switch scam that
doesn't mention that ID ever existed. This is something signed by 52
Ohio "scientists" who wanted ID taught in Ohio when the bait and switch
went down in 2002. At this time teaching ID was, obviously, still part
of the teach the controvery scam.

We Affirm:
That biological evolution is an important scientific theory that should
be taught in the classroom;

That a quality science education should prepare students to distinguish
the data and testable theories of science from religious or
philosophical claims that are made in the name of science;

That a science curriculum should help students understand why the
subject of biological evolution generates controversy;

That where alternative scientific theories exist in any area of inquiry
(such as wave vs. particle theories of light, biological evolution vs.
intelligent design, etc.), students should be permitted to learn the
evidence for and against them;

That a science curriculum should encourage critical thinking and
informed participation in public discussions about biological origins.

So there is still plenty of evidence that the bait and switch went down
and has kept going down on IDiots since Ohio in 2003. The last group of
IDiots who had the bait and switch run on them were the Utah IDiots when
the ID perps had to run the bait and switch at the same time that they
were putting up their "best" of IDiocy last November. The "best" of
IDiocy tells anyone that there is no ID science worth teaching.

Thanks for the background and references. My sole comment is
regarding the spurious "teach the controversy" argument
itself, with the observation that there *is no* scientific
controversy regarding nature vs. ID, other than from the
captive (i.e., required to sign a document that ID is real,
even though there is no evidence supporting it) denizens of
the DI.

Something weird is going on with Eternal September. The posts are
registering on Google, but my original post doesn't show up on eternal
september, but this response does.

I don't know how long Wayback will be around as an internet archive, but
at this time you can still dig up the history of the ID scam.

The switch scam still claims to be about the "controversy" and academic
freedom, but it would be best for the IDiots if they actually had
something worth teaching. IDiocy is no longer included as part of the
controversy, so what is the point for IDiots?

For as long as I have used E-S, it has had a bad habit of from
time-to-time going write-only without notice for periods of hours to
days, receiving posts but not forwarding them. Their only saving
grace is they eventually forward received posts once they finish/fix
whatever it was that stopped them from forwarding posts in the first
place.

An alternative to E-S is Albasani.net, which is functionally
equivalent to E-S but with servers in Europe.

Not sure what you mean by "registering on Google". Yes, if you post
to GG, GG will forward them to Beagle, which will forward them to
other Usenet servers, but you *still* won't see them on E-S until E-S
comes back online. And if you post to E-S when E-S is down, you still
won't see your post anywhere until E-S comes back online.

What adds to the mystery is, when E-S finally comes back online, E-S
forwards posts using the date/time E-S received them, not when E-S
forwarded them. So if you don't update your feed for awhile, you
won't even know E-S was down.

Archive.org is a registered non-profit corporation, which means it
depends on donations. According to its website, it's sponsored by
several foundations, but it also accepts private donations. If one
relies on archive.org, donating to it would be a good investment.

The only controversy with ID is what the IDiots manufactured from
their imagination.
