Tell me again why we don’t need a separation of church and state? This is a science teacher, and he’s doing what the parents want?
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The school board of a small central Ohio community voted unanimously Friday to fire a teacher accused of preaching his Christian beliefs despite staff complaints and using a device to burn the image of a cross on students’ arms.School board members voted 5-0 to fire Mount Vernon Middle School science teacher John Freshwater. Board attorney David Millstone said Freshwater is entitled to a hearing to challenge the dismissal.Freshwater denies wrongdoing and will request such a hearing, the teacher’s attorney, Kelly Hamilton, told the Mount Vernon News.School board members met a day after the consulting firm H.R. On Call Inc. released its report on the teacher’s case.The report came a week after a family filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Columbus against Freshwater and the school district, saying Freshwater burned a cross on a child’s arm that remained for three or four weeks….Other findings show that Freshwater taught that carbon dating was unreliable to argue against evolution.
TXAtheist,
Well, Texas sure isn’t California…

One man’s cognitive dissonance is another’s dissonant cognizance. I think I just blew my mind?
Yep. Just checked. It’s blown. May take a few days to fix. In the mean time just call me Tim.
Speaking of proving their ignorance…
Comment from: (: tom
Not only being ignorant but proving how lazy they are…
Simple answer tom…your Dems are in positions of power to change the lives of all. If you did 2 minutes researching policies from the Left you’d see mountains of evidence.
I also quoted 2 Dems…not one. You want more? Do your own DD…
I also condemned the teacher and also explained why teachers like that are allowed to continue to teach. Now…which party does the NEA support? Hmmmm….
You tell me which party basis it’s policies on envy?
You tell me which party basis it’s policies on penalizing the achievers in life…
You tell me which party has controlled public education in this country for over 40 years…
You tell me which one of the 2 presidential candidates referred to the “myth” as a lie?
Can you give me one solid reason why so many who call themselves atheists and who constantly tell us how dumb America is, continue to vote for the party most responsible for the dumbing down of America?
Say what you want about Ellen…at least she stands on principles…
Yo, dumbass-
You tell me what party is responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 of our own and over 100,000 Iraqi’s?
You tell me what party is in the back pocket of big money corporate America?
You tell me what party is in the back pocket of the oil conglomerates?
You tell me what party has destroyed our relations with the rest of the world?
You tell me what party has had far too many scandals to list here?
You tell me what party stole the last presidential election?
You tell me what party just had an advisor say that a terrorist attack would actually be good for his candidate for the upcoming election?
Shall I go on?
Rethuglicans do far more damage than any Democrat can even think of.
If your household income is less than $350K/year and you vote for the GOP based on their economic platform then you are an idiot. If you vote for the GOP based on their social platform then you are being used by those making more than $350K/year and you are a fool. If you vote for the GOP for national security reasons then you have been living on another planet these past seven years.
“You tell me what party is responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 of our own and over 100,000 Iraqi’s?”
Well, a political party by definition can’t be responsible, but if I follow your logic the answer is BOTH Democrats and Republicans voted to authorize the war. It was also the official policy of the United States to remove Saddam from power BEFORE President George W. Bush was elected. We operated until the authority of several U.N. resolutions as well. It was the WORLD’S fault! (so there!)
“You tell me what party is in the back pocket of big money corporate America?”
O.K., you win again. The Democrats and Republicans. Man, you are smart! Hard to fool you, isn’t it?
“You tell me what party is in the back pocket of the oil conglomerates?”
Actually neither. You should be THANKING the oil companies for producing the vital goods and services we take for granted in this country. Only a moron with limited understanding of how our economy actually functions would be against one of our best industries. U.S. Oil companies lead the world in exploration and extraction of a vital commodity that our economy depends upon.
“You tell me what party has destroyed our relations with the rest of the world?”
Hmmmmm. If our standing in the world actually was “destroyed” perhaps I could answer. Get a clue, genius. Do some research on world opinion from UNBIASED sources.
“You tell me what party has had far too many scandals to list here?”
O.K., if I have to… The Democrats and the Republicans are about even on that one. Hey! At least you got one (partially) correct!!!
“You tell me what party stole the last presidential election?”
Oh, stop! I’m rolling on the floor now. You mean which party ALMOST stole the last election, right? Thast would be the Dems, my friend. Thank God the Supreme Court stopped him in his tracks.
George W. Bush was ahead in EVERY vote count, you dope. The Florida Secretary of State offered to conduct a statewide recount, BUT NO! ALgore wasn’t having any of that. He pursued a recount for heavily Democrat counties ONLY, which the REpublicans rightly objected to. Talk about trying to STEAL an election.
Get a grip.
What (I don’t know about economics)
“If your household income is less than $350K/year and you vote for the GOP based on their economic platform then you are an idiot.”
I can only assume you’ve been smoking too many funny cigarettes to have made such an ill-informed comment. But then again, you are known here for what you obviously DON’T know!
So which party is it that is for raising the capital gains tax? Do you even know what the capital gains tax IS and who pays it in this country? Do you know what the effect will be on middle class families if this tax is raised?
Do you actually know anything?
Tim
You are obviously making less than the 52K national average or you would have done the math. My household income was 298K last year and I would have been far better off with a democratic government. How much do you think BushCo’s war of aggression is costing me you freaking idiot? How much do think BushCo’s lack of oversight in the mortgage and investment banking sector is going to end up costing me? You are a typical shortsighted rethuglican. You deserve your pathetic existence.
What,
You didn’t answer the question as usual (because you can’t)
this guy should be in jail. what he did is a crime. end of story. i grew up in a catholic neighborhood and had the shit kicked out of me more than once for opening up my mouth. so-called religious belief has been the cause of unending violence between humans since the beginning of time. i dont understand why so many people seem to need this. what useful function does it serve?
