Another example of Christians not being very Christian-y.

I am dumbfounded. I don’t know what to say.
“Freshwater, according to an independent report, used an electrostatic device to mark a cross on the arm of one of his students, causing pain to the student”
Electrostatic device? That’s worse than a ruler!
“Freshwater was also reprimanded several times for refusing to move his Bible from his classroom desk and teaching creationism alongside evolution”
Creationism teachings do not belong in a public school. If a family wants their kids to be taught creationism, then they can put their kid into a private school that teaches it, or home-school them. Church and State are to be separate, remember?
And he was a science teacher!? What’s he thinking?!? Has he been doing this for the entire 21 years he’s been teaching? I’m confused.
Maybe he went insane…

Yea… That guy’s messed up. It’s about time they fired him!

I think anyone who wants to be a middle school science teacher maybe a little insane to begin with.
I love how the vote was “to begin the process of firing”. Maybe it took 21 years for his infractions to catch up with him because they just now finished voting on a notion “to finish reprimanding”

A science teacher who teaches his students that “science is wrong” ??? GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! Where’s the #$%*ing oversight???
Thanks for posting this. I can’t believe they have to “begin the process” of firing him and can’t just kick him out the door.

[...] A middle school creationist science teacher, who teaches his students that “science is wrong” for disagreeing with the bible, has burned a cross into a student’s arm (HT Carolyn). [...]
