Fundamentalism - Newspaper
Fundamentalism is the strict way people uphold their belief's according to scripture. Because Christian's believe that God created all things including humans, they choose not to learn or believe in the evolution theory. Therefor, evolution was not to be taught. John Scopes taught evolution only to find himself in deep trouble. Eventually, states began to teach evolution in their schools. In the photo, there is an article in a newspaper about Scope's sentence.
