Tennessee: Where Cowards Rule
Krutch, Joseph Wood | July 15, 1925 issue

Even those who do not happen, like the present writer, to have been born and bred in Tennessee should not find it difficult to forgive Dayton, a tiny town set in the midst of fruitful strawberry fields in Tennessee. Its faith is no narrower than that of every other community equally remote; its temper is better than was the temper of Oxford half a century ago; and if some of its inhabitants turn to the law to protect their children against the teaching of a dangerous theory, it is with a simplicity of mind which has no conception of the questions of academic freedom involved.
