An Ohio middle school science teacher named John Freshwater has been fired from his job after burning the image of a cross into several students' arms. Freshwater used his position as science teacher to inform his class that evolution wasn't true, that carbon dating was wrong, and that homosexuality was a sin, of course. Can't forget about homosexuality when you're giving a lecture about carbon dating fossils. He apparently used a device called a "high frequency generator" to burn images of a Christian cross into students' skin. A friend of his defended him, saying, "With the exception of the cross-burning episode, ... I believe John Freshwater is teaching the values of the parents in the Mount Vernon school district." Yes. If it weren't for that pesky cross-burning episode, I'm sure all the parents would be behind him. Read more reasons not to give Christian science teachers "high frequency generators" here.
