Ohio town split over teacher accused of preaching

In defense of OH ... I was taught about evolution on my first day of High School... Of course I went to a Jesuit High School where it was believed that God gave us brains so that we might use them to their fullest and thereby (so the theory went) glorify His creation.

Some see God as more vulnerable and petty.....

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - Demonstrations on the town square show how divided people are over the school board's decision to fire a science teacher accused of preaching his Christian beliefs in the classroom and burning crosses on students' arms.

John Freshwater, 52, was fired last month after an outside consulting firm released a report concluding that he taught creationism and was insubordinate in failing to remove a Bible and other religious materials from his classroom at Mount Vernon Middle School.
