Description
"The Scopes Trial, over the right to teach the theory of evolution in public schools, reaffirmed the principle of intellectual freedom as codified in the Bill of Rights. The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing national debates over the freedom of inquiry and the separation of Church and State in a democratic society, debates that continue to this day"--Container.
