What lie about history did MrB state?

What was in error in the textbook citation that he gave?

Perhaps you could point that out.

Here is Mr. B's lie/misstatement/ignorance/clouded judgment.

“our country would not, demonstrably, be a “theocracy” if we were to go back to the post-Scopes, where evolution was taught, but questions were also allowed to be raised”

To help out Mr.B or anyone else who is completely ignorant of U.S. history I helpfully pointed out that the Scopes trial unsuccessfully challenged a law that made it illegal to teach the Science of Evolution in Science class. So it was illegal to teach Evolution both before and after the Scopes trial and Mr.B's statement is absolutely and unambiguously incorrect.
