If you have not ever heard of this trial or it's significance to the RE classroom then don't miss this episode.  It underpins our teaching of fundamentalism, science and religion, diversity of worldviews and curriculum freedom.  It also shines a light on global issues and polarisation.

As we approach the 100  year anniversary of this trial (10th July 1925) listen to Ruth Marx speak passionately about John Scope!

Here are the many links to things referenced in the episode
