Scopes and Dover: The Same Stuff
University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton moderated a forum in which a historian, a journalism professor, a biochemist and a religious studies professor discussed the impact of the 1925 Tennessee Scopes Trial on society, reports Rob Noce in the Columbia Missourian.

“It’s the same stuff. In many cases the language is actually identical,” says Schmidt.
