Scope This Trial Out

     John T. Scopes was charged with teaching evolution instead of religion. That the "civilized man" eradicated the savages i.e. Homo Sapiens < Homo Sapien Sapiens. Typically he was trailed over his teachings. Was it so wrong for children to have knowledge of evolution, whether it is true or not. Scientifically evolution has a concrete defense, but as humans we need something to feel secure that we know, and so come religion. To teach either of these topics can be difficult as there may be some that feel strongly about the other. Personally I for one people should stop being ignorant and let the schools teach both. It's resourceful for their children to be open minded. They don't necessarily have to believe in which ever, but to learn about it, have the knowledge of the possiblities of life. People in today's generation are very narrow minded and ignorant. Teaching the younger generation to accept the ideas of others and be open-minded might be beneficial to our society. Of course people who oppose this theory would prove stronger support but who knows. Both evolution and religion should be taught in school so whatever people would want to believe in, they can have a background knowledge of their choice and the background knowledge of the opposing theory.
