Description
Following the verdict of the Scopes Monkey Trial, religious activism influenced members of the Florida state legislature to force the Florida State College for Women (FSCW) to ban the teaching of evolution, psychoanalysis, and other “controversial” subjects taught by professors such as Raymond Bellamy. Activists claimed the school was promoting atheism and labeled Bellamy, the administration, and the students of FSCW as “Filthy Dreamers.”
