The Trial of the Century (Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, Freethought Radio podcast)

We announce a great victory from the Arkansas courts blocking the state from displaying the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom. 

After reporting state/church news in California, West Virginia, Iowa and West Point Military Academy, we hear the Tom Lehrer song “I Got it from Agnes” and the “1919 Influenza Blues” by Essie Ray Jenkins. 

Then, we listen to the talk given at the Scopes Trial Centennial last month by Brenda Wineapple, author of Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and The Trial that Riveted a Nation.
