Scopes "Monkey" Trial (1925)

A social model of chaos was discovered in the early 1920s. Traditionalists and elderly Victorians are worried that all the worthwhile things are over. A young modernist no longer ascertains whether their actions are consistent with their wisdom but does not ask if society supports their behavior. Intellectual experiments are thriving. Americans danced in the voice of the jazz era, contemptued alcohol bans, discussed abstract art and Freud theory. Corresponding to a new social model of the modernist movements, the wave of revival developed and became particularly powerful in the southern part of the United States.

Who will dominate American culture - modernist or traditional? The reporters were looking for a showdown, and they found a booth in the court of Dayton, Tennessee in the summer of 1925. The jury determined the fate of John Scops, a high school biological teacher who is illegally responsible for teaching evolution. The guilt and innocence of John Scope and even the constitutionality of the anti-evolutionary law of Tennessee State are also important. The meaning of the experiment becomes clear by interpretation as a contradiction between social value and intellectual value ... Continued

One of the most famous American trials in the 20th century is the Range Monkey Trial (1925), which deals with the laws of the state of Tennessee and aims to limit the evolutionary education of public schools. Epperson v. In the case of Arkansas (1968), the US Supreme Court dismissed a similar prohibition, after which the state passed the requirement to teach "creation of science" and passed a law that "balances" the subject. Edwards v. In Aguillard (1987), the court ruled that the claim violated the provision of the first Amendment provision.

Range Trial, also known as Range Monkey Trial, was the prosecution of a science teacher, John Scotts, developed from the Tennessee Public School in 1925, and recent bills were illegal. The trial was based on two most famous lecturers at the time, William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow. The trial challenged the constitutionality of the bill, publicly insisted on the validity of Darwin's theory of evolution, and was seen as increasing the image of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

A few months after the first trial by Carrie in 1925, when the teacher John Scopes of Tennessee tried to evolve education in 1960, the country was fascinated by the famous "monkey" trial. The drama of that year (based on the 1955 drama) inherited the wind. What he remembers now is that the heroic struggle of science for superstition is also a debate for clear eugenic biology textbooks. The range uses George Hunter's A Civic Biology, which includes a passage to promote eugenics.
