The Scopes Trial
The Scopes trial acknowleged the line between science and religion and wether it should be taught in public schools. Was it considered appropriate or not?
The scopes trial was a case within the State of Tennessee versing John Scopes
Tennessee was the first state that restricted the teaching of evolutiondue to the scopes trial
The Scopes trial tested the butler act which made it unlawful for school to interfere with religion
The trial was said to be more of a debate than a trial.
Evolution wasnt taught in any schools except High Schools
The state argued that the Law was the Law and John Scopes broke it and therefore must be convicted
Both sides affectively sited their position which made it hard for the decision to be made. The state thought it was only science and it should be taught. John Scoped thought it violated the butler act.
Scopes argued that the testimony was poorly reprisented in the trial.
Scope was a teacher and didnt like the way humans were represented in the textbook. The textbook described us as mammals and John Scopes was offended because he doesnt view us as mamals but gifts from god. The state stated that the textbook stated that the book said humans are mammals and not, humans are only mammals.
