Abstract

The Battle of Tennessee
May 27, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The battle of Tennessee may play as significant a part in American history as the Battle of Gettysburg. For what is at stake in the little town of Dayton is as important as any question of political structure, or even of physical freedom; it is the question of bondage of the human mind. The new law of Tennessee, ignoring the ancient freedom of this country, forbids a man to teach the simple scientific truth related to the human evolution. It returns to the days of the Inquisition, when men were burned alive for daring to think, when an official church tried to cry halt to science.
