This book introduces readers to the "Trial of the Century,"
revealing how the trial originated, what caused and happened during
and after the trial, what happened to the trial's participants, and
why the trial still matters nearly 100 years later. Ongoing
controversies about school curricula, such as the teaching of
Critical Race Theory and the role of parents in public education,
can all be traced to the Scopes Trial. Today, the question remains:
who controls the school curriculum? This was a foundational issue
in the Scopes Trial, and we have been debating this question ever
since. This book will help readers understand where these
controversies originated and how courts, politicians, and the
public handled these issues nearly a century ago. Featuring new
information from previously untapped sources and providing an
in-depth study of John Scopes himself, this book interrogates the
facts, fictions, and legend of the Scopes Trial, which historians
rank as one of the defining events of the 20th century. It is an
ideal resource for anyone interested in the ongoing controversy
about evolution, science, and religion in education and American
life.
