Lou, thanks for the very informative ariticle on the Scopes trial. I wrote a paper on this trial during my first year in college, 1956. I remember enjoying the rearch leading up to the paper, but certainy did not uncover the fraud issue as you did. It’s amazing how many issues like this are embeded in our schooling and how politics is at the root of so many history lessons that we accept as fact. Thanks again for digging and sharing.
