Dershowitz on the Darwin Darrow Defended
Check out this eye-opening essay by Alan Dershowitz (H/T Evolution News & Views) at the website of a new movie about the Scopes Monkey Trial, “alleged,” starring Brian Dennehy as Clarence Darrow and Fred Thompson as William Jennings Bryan. As Dershowitz shows, the textbook from which John Scopes was accused of teaching, Hunter’s Civic Biology, was replete with racism and eugenic advocacy.
On a related note, Jeff Gamso credits Mike at Crime & Federalism with having the best tag line in the whole blogosphere:
Because everything I was ever told was a lie.
