On the surface, it is a matter of religion, but it is more about independent thought and freedom of speech. The law in the play will kill a person who believes in Darwin's theory of evolution today, and tomorrow will kill another person who believes in other theories, and even a new branch of religion or a new interpretation of religion will appear in the future. Under this law, There will be endless mutual persecution. After the defense lawyers asked anthropologists, psychologists, archaeologists and other witnesses but were not allowed to appear in court by the judge, they had no choice but to retreat to prove the need for freedom of thought and speech in the classroom. This is very similar to Lin Zhao. She may not agree with Zhang Yuanxun's point of view, but she jumped to the table and said that she would allow others to speak. The reversal at the end uses a little trick, which can be regarded as showing from a certain aspect that "if you are not allowed to think freely and speak freely, anyone can become a victim."
