A Dangerous Idea: The Scopes Trial, The Original Fight Over Science In Schools by Debbie Levy (Nonfiction)
A Dangerous Idea: The Scopes Trial, The Original Fight Over Science In Schools by Debbie Levy
When John T. Scopes was interrupted during a game of tennis after finishing his first year of teaching in Tennessee, and asked to go down and talk to some of the local townspeople at the drugstore, he didn't think much of it. But when he arrived he found some guys planning something big, something to put the sleepy little town of Dayton, TN on the map, forever. And it would be an issue that we still deal with to this very day.
Recommended for grades 8 and up.
