Creationist science teacher burns crosses into students arms...

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Oh yeah, let's teach the controversy...
This is what you will end up with when you allow religion, any religion, into the science classroom. This is their version of education.
This guy needs some help. I'm sure he could get a little in the lunatic asylum to which he and the rest of the fundie idiots should be consighed.

A wonderful round-up of the issues in play here can be found at Cafe Philos (thanks to PZ). The school board has begun the necessary process to remove John Freshwater as a teacher in Ohio.
(Especially enlightening is Ed Darrel's long comment to the above-linked post on the foundation of the separation of church and state.) |

Well, Freshwater is gone, off to fresher waters.
Had that been done to one my of kids, those fresher waters would have an Assault & Battery charge lurking within them. Assuming that I didn't lose my temper and dealt with him myself. Then the A & B charge would probably be mine, and worth it.
Religion cannot be allowed in the governance nor the educational systems of any civilized society. It is the fastest way back to barbarism in existence. This is a case in point.

Some more on Freshwater, and the embarrassingly shallow end of the gene pool.
| Over and over we hear from the Disco ‘Tute boys that they're not pushing the teaching of intelligent design creationism and that they're only interested in teaching the controversy or critically analyzing evolution or teaching the strengths and weaknesses of evolution. Most recently they are pushing the “academic freedom” bills being introduced in state legislatures and, in the case of Louisiana, being passed by those legislatures. Of the Louisiana bill the Disco ‘Tute piously claims that |
To see what the Disco 'Toot clown show has to piously gibber, open the link & read on. It's quite interesting, even enlightening.

It ain't here. I'm having trouble with my computer again and can't delete a double post, so had to do it this way. 
Edit: And even that didn't work as planned.

Ok. My box is all but on it's electronic ass; there is no guarentee that it'll stay on a site, nor even keep from locking up. Can't afford to replace it at the moment.
So, if I vanish for a while, it will probably be because my comuter's shot rather than myself, popular opinion not withstanding.

| I find it interesting that articles such as this always contain a quote similar to "Several students interviewed by investigators described Freshwater, who has been employed by the school district for 21 years, as a great guy." Guess there is a reason that 25% still think that GWB is doing a good job. |
