Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36
The Scopes trial, over the right to teach evolution in public schools, reaffirmed the importance of intellectual freedom as codified in the Bill of Rights. The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing national debates over the separation of church and state in a democratic society - debates that continue to this day.

Great great audio play. It's amazing how a story from the 20's still resonates in today's political climate over 90 years later.
