Scopes

High school teacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution in Dayton, Tennessee on May 5, 1925.

The arrest came exactly according to plan: Scopes and a group of local businessmen had decided to provoke the indictment in order to challenge a new Tennessee law banning the teaching of evolution.
