The play was part of my high school english curriculum. The play is from the 50s, and I think the movie was from 1965.
It's based on the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial in Tennessee, where a teacher was arrested for teaching about evolution, which was prohibited by Tennessee state law.
The foundation of superstition is ignorance, the
superstructure is faith and the dome is a vain hope. Superstition
is the child of ignorance and the mother of misery.
