100 Years Since the Scopes “Monkey Trial”

I shared about this trial, what happened, and why it still matters in this video our social media team filmed for my YouTube channel. I encourage you to watch and share it this anniversary month.

Now, as you learned in the video, this trial took place because the ACLU wanted teachers to be able to teach human evolution in the classroom. And today, of course, that does indeed happen in public school classrooms (and, sadly, even in some Christian schools) across the nation every day—but that’s not what’s happening in every school! We’re so grateful for the faithful teachers, even in public schools, but also in private and Christian schools, who are teaching the truth of God’s Word beginning in Genesis.

And if you are one of those teachers, I encourage you to join us for Answers for Educators, July 21–22, 2025, at our beautiful Answers Academy facility and the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky. It’s sponsored by our friends at the Herzog Foundation (I encourage you to check them out—they offer so much for free for Christian schools!). At this event, you’ll enjoy:

• Quality academic professional development from a biblical worldview, given by seasoned AiG educators, including our very own educators from Answers Academy.
• Encouragement in the world of education as we endeavor to leave a lasting godly legacy.
• Multiple tracks to choose from within primary and secondary education categories, as well as general education tracks for any type of educator.

You’ll also receive a 3-Day Bouncer Pass to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, along with a catered dinner on Monday, a concert, door prizes, lunch on Tuesday, and more. Registration will close soon, so don’t miss out! This is a wonderful and unique opportunity for Christian teachers.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
