It appears Feerick needs to go back to school and do some serious study of America’s early days. I suggest he visit with David Barton of Wall Builders who has nearly countless documents which show the spiritual positions of our Founding Fathers. One glaring mistake (page 49) was to tag John Scopes of the 1925 Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn. as a “biology teacher.” Scopes was the gym teacher who, on occasion, would sub for an absent teacher. He was persuaded by local businessmen, prompted by the A.C.L.U., to say he had taught evolution in a class which was, at the time, against Tennessee law. Years later he admitted that he had not taught evolution but by that time it was to late. Truth be known, the trial was based on a lie and was created by Dayton businessmen to bring people to town. It worked but for many years the event has been praised as a victory for teaching evolution. It was a sad thing in American history but Feerick did nothing to correct the story.
