The Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 had a significant impact on the debate over science and religion in education, particularly regarding the teaching of evolution versus creationism in schools. It brought national attention to the issues of academic freedom and the separation of church and state, highlighting the cultural clash between modernist and traditionalist views. While it did not result in a clear legal precedent, the trial influenced public opinion and ultimately contributed to the gradual acceptance of evolution in educational curricula. Additionally, it marked a pivotal moment in the American Civil Liberties Union's efforts to defend individual rights.
John T. Raulston was the judge in the Scopes trial.
