r.linders are placed on spirited horses to prevent them
from seeing what goes on behind and on cither side of them.
Jtiit no liberty-loving, intelligent man wants lo be a horse- -especially
a horse with blinders.
Nevt'itlielfss, through legislative and executive decree;
blinders .are being placed on the. school children in four;
Wiitlipm" stales. The teaching of evolution as u theory (only
fts a theory and not a fact) is forbidden in these states be
cause it is at variance with the teachings of l-eligion. Al
though the theory of evolution has never been taught in
the schools as a proven or disproved explanation of tho
rxistence of the universe and man, it is now to be excluded
from the schools of these states because the law-makers
and hnVholders disaeree with the scientist. Science, educa
tion, and even religion are there made the business of poll-'
ticians and legislators rather than the business of educa
tors and theologians.
Two lit) ml red years Itefore tho time of P.ryan, the funda
mentalist who was a scholar and n free man said tn an
other thinker, "I do not believe what you say but 1 will
defend to the death your right to say it." In four southern
states many thousands of boys and girls in high schools nnd
colleges (the theory of evolution had never been taught in
the grade schools) are to be denied the right to know th
scientific point of view and to hear one theory as well a.i
another and to be able to have broadened educational stimu
lus that such teaching would make possible.
The proponents of the theory of evolution, in which class
we do not necessarily place ourselves, should give thanks
to those who have been responsible, for inculcating in tho
