Who gets to decide what students learn?

Tennessee State Senator Bo Watson has introduced legislation to allow public schools to deny enrollment to undocumented children, setting up a challenge of the 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyler vs Doe.  

Who should decide who our students are and what they should learn? Who should be running our schools? Politicians, teachers or parents?

That’s a question the nation is debating today, and that question was one of the core arguments debated during the 1925 Scopes Trial.

Visit the Scopes Trial Play & Festivities July 11-19, at the Rhea County Courthouse to see where this debate started 100 years ago. For more information and tickets, check out scopes100.com.
