I’ve never heard of it before now, so here’s a summary for anyone else with a major gap in their education:
The Scopes trial was a famous legal case in Tennessee where a teacher was accused of violating a law that banned the teaching of evolution in public schools.
Evolution was never specifically covered in my education. I remember at least one class skipping it on purpose because evolution was controversial and the instructor was not going to get consent forms for every student.
Wild.
I learned evolution. It was a whole segment in science class around the 8th grade. Blue state education… can’t believe we used to make fun of it.
