80 years after he went on trial for teaching evolution, John Scopes' battle is being fought again in Kansas:
Eighty years after the first famed "Monkey Trial," a second one was under way Thursday in Kansas, giving critics of evolution a forum for attacking the theory.A State Board of Education subcommittee began four days of trial-like hearings on evolution, and witnesses were advocates of intelligent design, critics of evolution or both.
The entire board plans to consider changes in June to standards that determine how Kansas students are tested on science.
