5. Sylvia Mader, Biology, Sixth Edition (Boston: WCB/McGraw-Hill, 1998). ISBN 0-697-34080- 5
This edition, except in the softbound version, never mentions Haeckel and has only photographs of pig and chicken embryos "at comparable early stages." Your source is mistaken, or possibly spreading disinformation.

Oh and the teacher that used Haeckel's drawings as evidence of evolution was fresh out of teacher's college. I know she knows that Haeckel's drawings were false which leaves me to wonder why she would use fradulent material to teach evolution.
Are you in the US? If you are, I think you will find that there is woefully little correlation between a person's recent graduation from a teacher's college and their knowledge of up-to-date biology. Or do you have independent evidence of this teacher's knowledge of Haeckel's drawings? I'd bet she knows nothing at all of the "Haeckel controversy."
And, by the way, what text did you use? The link to NCSE above showed that Wells was lying about most of his ten: is your school system's budget as bad as Oklahoma's, where you are stuck with decade-old texts?
