Return to Scopes

So, Trump, MaMahon, and the federal government are threatening to remove federal funding to ANY state if even ONE school district is "promoting DEI" (diversity, equity, and inclusion).

What's next? Maybe a return to the 1920s where a teacher can be arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for teaching evolution.

Refresh yourself with The Scopes Trial. Maybe rent Inherit The Wind this week-end.
