Thank you Gatekeeper.
I wrote that article because I was concerned that the play Inherit the Wind (although entertaining) presents a misleading, narrow, and biased view of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
It would benefit students to be familiar with the historical account. See Edward J Larson's book about the trial "Summer of the Gods". It won a pulitzer prize for history.
