Arrested for Teaching Science! The 1925 Monkey Trial 🐒⚖️
#ScopesMonkeyTrial #July10
Today is July 10! Exactly a century ago, the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, became the center of the world's most bizarre legal battle—the Scopes Monkey Trial. Back then, the state passed a strict law making it completely illegal to teach Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. They demanded that only the Biblical story of creation be taught. When a 24-year-old teacher named John T. Scopes defied the law and taught evolution anyway, he was thrown into a highly publicized criminal trial! The courtroom was packed with the country's most famous lawyers, and the media turned the town into an absolute carnival, even bringing live chimpanzees to the courthouse. It was the first trial ever broadcast live on American radio! While Scopes was ultimately found guilty and fined $100, this trial sparked a massive, ongoing global debate between modern science and traditional religion!

‘Is our picture of evolution stuck in the past?’
On the 100th anniversary of the #ScopesMonkeyTrial
the ways we depict #evolution can still give an erroneous progressive view (that evolution leads to humans or ‘increased complexity’).

It was a hundred years ago today that high school biology teacher John T. Scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution in class and fined $100. Well done, America. #scopesmonkeytrial
A century after the #ScopesMonkeyTrial, anti-evolution laws still lurk in science class.

99 yrs ago today, the #ScopesMonkeyTrial begins in TN. The highly-charged court battle, about separation of church + state, free speech, and science vs. religion, and immortalized in the film “Inherit the Wind,” had deep roots here, #SouthOfUnionSquare: https://t.co/KcpPb0OmKo
