If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public school, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools, and the next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and newspapers. Soon you may set Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the minds of men. ✨ Clarence Darrow's remarks during The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes case in Dayton, Tennessee, July 13, 1925.
