Quote #10
BRADY. I'll tell you what he's trying to do! He wants to destroy everybody's belief in the Bible, and in God!
DRUMMOND. You know that's not true. I'm trying to stop you bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the education of the United States! And you know it! (II, II, 702-06)
If you didn't think that education was a hot political topic, then you should reread this exchange between Brady and Drummond a few times. Yikes. Trust us; things aren't so different today, Shmoopers. People never stop being concerned about who's "controlling the education of the United States," and for good reason, too.
