Summary:  Arrested? For teaching? John Scopes's crime riveted the world, and crowds flocked to the trial of the man who dared to tell students about a forbidden topic--evolution. The year was 1925, and discussing Darwin's theory of evolution was illegal in Tennessee classrooms. Lawyers wanted to challenge the law, and businessmen smelled opportunity. But no one imagined the firestorm the Scopes Trial would ignite--or the media circus that would follow. As reporters, souvenir-hawking vendors, angry protestors, and even real monkeys mobbed the courthouse, a breathless public followed the action live on national radio broadcasts. All were fascinated by the bitter duel between science and religion, an argument that boiled down to the question of who controls what students can learn--an issue that resonates to this day Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Alderney Gate Public Library Children's Nonfiction 345.730288 S211mt Childrens Books Checked in Add Copy to MyList Central Library Children's Nonfiction 345.730288 S211mt Childrens Books Checked in Add Copy to MyList
