Inherit the Wind is a play based on the 1920s Scopes Monkey Trial.

Does "Inherit the Wind" accurately depict the Modernists victory over the Fundamentalists? Do you agree, disagree, or are you in the middle?
My high school did a show on this play.

I did see the show (it was my school play). My view on this is that the modernists won because the prosecutor was shown to be wrong. He also died because of the stress. The modernists put up a way better argument compared with the fundamentalists. The jury (which convicted the school teacher) were ignorant to begin with.
