Kurt Steiner(@Kurt_Steiner):"The hand that writes the check rules the school.” Scopes has the right to spout off whatever he wants on the street corner, but “he cannot expect us to furnish a school, pay his salary and furnish the children too, for him to instruct in evolution…Freedom of speech and freedom of thought are not involved.”
