Revisiting the Scopes Trial in the New Era of Christian Fundamentalism A century later, states are once again attempting to force the Bible into public education, not by banning evolution, but by promoting scripture as curriculum.

100 years after evolution went on trial, the Scopes case still reverberates One hundred years ago, the small town of Dayton, Tenn., became the unlikely stage for one of the most sensational trials in American history, over the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution.

📚 100 years later, the #ScopesTrial still shapes how we talk about evolution and public education. NPR revisits the "Monkey Trial" and why it still matters:

It’s funny how indoctrination works. In my own head I can’t see #ScopesTrial without adding “Monkey” in between the words. I have a fucking degree in Biology! It is horribly inaccurate in regard to human evolution, but it’s permanently burned into my brain.

100 years ago a teacher stood trial in the US by daring to teach Darwin's theory of Evolution.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens today.
