Was the Scopes Trial an attempt to change the law, or a test to see if it could be defied?
In other words, did people really care about educating students on the theory of evolution, or did they just want to see the court fail?
It was an attempt to TEST the law, specifically the Butler Act..........
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler_Act
What most people have lost sight of after 84 years is that the Scopes Monkey Trial was nothing more than a publicity stunt. John Scopes, the teacher, for lack of a better term, was ‘recruited’ to be the defendant in the case. There was no ‘Salem Witch-Hunt’ in Dayton with preachers trolling the hallways of Dayton’s schools hunting for teachers who were violating Tennessee’s prohibition on teaching evolution.
“The whole idea of suing a teacher for teaching evolution was not conceived by the citizens of Dayton, Tennessee, but rather was promoted by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in New York City. The ACLU advertised in newspapers to locate a teacher in Tennessee who would be willing to test the Butler Act in the courts (with all expenses to be paid by the ACLU). A Dayton resident, George Rappleyea, saw an ACLU advertisement in a Chattanooga newspaper and pressured his friend John Scopes to accept the offer. Unfortunately, Scopes was not a science teacher (he majored in prelaw) and had never actually taught evolution! Scopes was a math teacher and football coach who had merely filled in for the biology teacher (who was ill) for two weeks at the end of the school year. Still, with Scopes' reluctant permission, Rappleyea immediately notified the ACLU that "Professor J.T. Scopes, teacher of science at Rhea County High School, will be arrested and charged with teaching evolution."
It was a jury trial and Scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution theories in violation of Tennessee law. That was all he was on trial for.
One of the country's greatest orators, William Jennings Bryan, was the prosecuting attorney who is best remembered for his 'Cross of Gold' speech. Scopes’ attorney was the famous Clarence Darrow.
The City Fathers of Dayton welcomed the trial. It put Dayton on the map in 1925 and stimulated its economy. There was a circus-like atmosphere in the town during the trial.
