Arkansas Monkey Law challenged by young teacher in 1968
Susan Epperson, 24, a Little Rock Central High School biology teacher, leads a suit to strike down Arkansas 38 year old anti evolution law. The case, backed by the Education Association, questions limits on speech in public schools and the legality of banning textbooks teaching evolution. The state appeals to the Arkansas Supreme Court as debate over academic freedom and public welfare rages.
