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.
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?
