One hundred years ago John T. Scopes was put on trial for teaching evolution in a Tennessee classroom. Nearly forgotten is the role of a half dozen University of Chicago professors and alumni in the trial—including the protagonist himself, John Thomas Scopes, EX’31. Political science professor John Mark Hansen recovers the history of these UChicagoans’ involvement in the Scopes “Monkey Trial.”

I beg every single one of you who's from the US (or anywhere else, to be honest) to watch "Inherit the Wind" and read up on the "Monkey trial" it is based on.

INHERIT THE WIND

FANATICISM AND IGNORANCE IS FOREVER BUSY AND NEEDS FEEDING

Fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding … Clarence Darrow “Inherit the Wind” is one of the best movies of its kind ever made. If you have not yet seen it, I highly recommend it. Not only is it brilliantly acted, directed with a script from the actual trial, but it is shockingly relevant — shocking because the trial took place in Dayton, Tennessee, 1925.  It ought to feel old…
