The Tennessee Antievolution Act, also known as the Butler Act, was written by state legislator John Washington Butler. It was enacted in 1925 and made it illegal to teach human evolution in public schools, specifically targeting the teachings of Charles Darwin. The law gained national attention during the Scopes Trial, which challenged its constitutionality.
