Might I suggest (a) that the limited number of participants in this
thread (and related ones in the recent past), and (b) the
comparative advantage of most list members in law rather than
the philosophy of science, indicates that perhaps the thread has
played itself out?

No textbook in the past decade, and maybe in the past 40 years, that I have
found, claims ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. It's a red herring (there
are those fish again!) to claim that is an issue in evolution classes. It's
not.
Of course, over time the specifics change. Eventually, my professor will
have gone into the land of emeriti and future generation of students taking
that class will not be entertained by his misconception. But in 1980 (not 40
years ago, yet) at college in North Carolina, one dinosaur taught it just this
way.
Oh, and by the way, as recently as the 2003 MCAT, that gatekeeper to medical
education has tested, or had as a possible subject of testing, ontogeny
recapitulates phylogeny. See
