Scopes was not allowed to teach evolution in the classroom.

But the larger outcome was that it showed the nation how ridiculous the limitation on teaching evolution was and brought it national attention resulting in many states changing laws to allow evolution to be taught.

Scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution and fined. His conviction was overturned on appeal. The town attracted a large number of tourists, which was the whole purpose of the trial!
