Evolution vs. Religion

The Scopes Trail was one of the most significant event that took place in the roaring twenties. This was a trial in which a teacher got arrested for teaching his students about evolution. what happened, in my opinion should of not happened. Yes, he taught evolution, and that was his mistake and it might have not been what people wanted to believe but it is honestly not much of a big deal to arrest him for it. Now in school I believe that neither one should be taught. Everyone should be free to believe whatever they want to believe. They do not allow religion to be taught because of how everyone should be able to choose on what they want, but teaching evolutionism isn't much of a difference, because what about those people who are religious and believe that god created everything? By teaching evolutionism in school, is like telling them they are wrong and this is the correct way to think, and that is the same thing as of teaching creationism instead.
