year2027 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/20/education/20teacher.html Teacher With Bible Divides Ohio Town By IAN URBINA Published: January 19, 2010 MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — Most people in this quiet all-American town describe themselves as devoutly Christian, but even here they are deeply divided over what should happen to John Freshwater. Mr. Freshwater, an eighth-grade public school science teacher, is accused of burning a cross onto the arms of at least two students and teaching creationism, charges he says have been fabricated because he refused an order by his principal to remove a Bible from his desk. After an investigation, school officials notified Mr. Freshwater in June 2008 of their intent to fire him, but he asked for a pre-termination hearing, which has lasted more than a year and cost the school board more than a half-million dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
