When I was in Catholic school decades ago, I was given religion class in one room (not Bible study!) and then science class in another room. All through my education, some form of Haeckel’s Embyro’s made their appearance in text books and wall charts.
I remember this one vividly, due to the argument I got into with the nun who was teaching this blasphemy to us. Replying to my objection that these drawings made no sense – she said it was just something we had to accept, even if our Bible stories said that God created the earth and everything in it in six days.
If you are of African descent, you should find this particularly offensive. This image was in my father’s high school science book. It is yet more of Haeckel’s artistic interpretations.
Here is another one. These images have been presented in school books for over 100 years! If you think they no longer are – think again. Here is a link to an excellent article, documenting the exact textbooks that still contain this garbage. You will be shocked.
Excerpt from article. . .
Textbook VIII. Michael Padilla et al., Focus on Life Science: California Edition (Prentice Hall, 2001), pg. 372:
Analysis:(1) The text uses a graphic which is essentially a colorized adaptation of Haeckel’s original drawings, and it obscures the differences between early embryos just as much as Haeckel did.
All I can say is that the editors and publishers of these materials must be demonic, to knowingly indoctrinate our children in this way. Educators are fully aware that imagery such as this becomes a permanent part of a person’s psyche, and are not easily dislodged. As the old saying goes – “what has been seen, can not be unseen.”
The same effort is being made to form young people’s world view to accept every morally aberrant behavior known to man. What is being done is conditioning, and it is done with incessant fervor.
