The never ending Christian war against science education in Idiot America

 Anti-evolution books on sale in Dayton, Tennessee, where the ‘Monkeyville’ trial of Professor John T Scopes took place.

The Scopes Trial was in 1925.

Wikipedia:

The trial escalated the political and legal conflict between strict creationists and scientists to influence the extent to which evolution would be taught as science in Arizona and California schools. Before the Dayton trial only the South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Kentucky legislatures had dealt with anti-evolution laws or riders to educational appropriations bills.

After Scopes was convicted, creationists throughout the United States sought similar anti-evolution laws for their states.

By 1927, there were 13 states, both in the North and South, that considered some form of anti-evolution law. At least 41 bills or resolutions were introduced into the state legislatures, with some states facing the issue repeatedly. Nearly all of these efforts were rejected, but Mississippi and Arkansas did put anti-evolution laws on the books after the Scopes trial that would outlive the Butler Act.

This Christian war against science education continues today almost a century later. Lots of stupidity in Idiot America.
