The Wedge Strategy

Posted on: February 21, 2008 8:40 AM, by Greg Laden

"The Wedge Strategy" refers to a document (the Wedge Document) developed by the Discovery Institute in 1998 and leaked by Tim Rhodes in 1999. It outlines a strategy to insinuate a specific subset of Christian Fundamentalism into the public education system. Although Wedge Proponents have denied this, the Wedge Strategy is still very much in use (more or less), so it is important for people interested in protecting our system of education from religious freaks to know about it. You can download a copy of it here (large PDF, 0.5 megabytes).

Sweet Jebus Greg! Where did you find that? Amazing document. I could have been laughing so hard if it wasn't meant to be serious. I am linking back to you in a moment...

Wikipedia has a pretty good article on the Wedge Strategy.
