100 years ago this week, we defended John Scopes in the Scopes "Monkey Trial" after he was charged with teaching evolution, which was banned under Tennessee law.

Today, we're still fighting to keep religious doctrine out of public education.
100 years after evolution went on trial, the Scopes case still reverberates
