The Significance of the Decision in "Scopes II."
Jenkinson, Edward B.
Phi Delta Kappan, v68 n6 p445-50 Feb 1987
Reviews proceedings in "Mozert v. Hawkins County," in which the Sixth Circuit Court found that Holt reading series used by Hawkins County Public Schools caused the plaintiff students to "forfeit a free public education." Implications of this court decision are discussed. The judge narrowed the scope of the decision to the student plaintiffs and to the specific reading program. (MD)
