The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) challenged the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in Tennessee schools, by sponsoring the famous Scopes "Monkey" Trial in 1925. They recruited teacher John T. Scopes to deliberately violate the law, allowing for a courtroom battle that would attract national attention. The trial aimed to challenge the constitutionality of the Butler Act and promote academic freedom, ultimately sparking a broader debate about science, religion, and education in America.
