Still image from: Scopes: Curriculum on Trial

Conflict between freedom of religion and science in the classroom isn’t new. Neither is disagreement over what should be taught in schools. The Scopes Trial of 1925 brought a lot of attention to the little town of Dayton, Tennessee. John Scopes, a local teacher, volunteered to be put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution, which had been outlawed in the state-funded schools of Tennessee. It was an epic landmark legal battle full of heated debates and personal drama.
