Public School District Admits They Are Federal Institutions

April 23, 2008 |

I really think the story about the teacher burning crosses is probably a lie created by some parents. Or at least it’s being made out to be something more than reality. If he was doing this the issue wouldn’t be what was being burned into the arms. So that makes this motivated in a way that smells. The teacher has a Bible on his desk, at least according to the first story. Now he is distributing it to students (did they ask for them?) and burning crosses on their arms. It’s reported in a way to make it sound like he is evil.

An interesting thing is that the constitution says

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

How is that related to the schools which were once simply public schools and run locally. It betrays the fact that the federal government has taken over our schools and made them national institutions of indoctrination? Read the great wisdom of our educators when they make statements about the Constitution. They are responsible for teaching our children about this nation. We are in trouble indeed. Regardless how it turns out about the teacher this article says more than we might have wanted to know.

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — A public school district in Ohio says it has hired an independent investigator to look into allegations by parents that a teacher used an electrostatic device to burn crosses on to students’ arms.

The Mount Vernon City School District has assigned an administrator to monitor the classroom of eighth-grade science teacher John Freshwater until the investigation is over.

It’s the district’s latest run-in with Freshwater, who last week refused to obey an order to remove a Bible on his desk from view of students.

Freshwater also is accused of handing out Bibles to students and teaching the meaning of Good Friday and Easter.

School district officials say they are required by the U.S. Constitution not to promote religious beliefs.

No one answered calls made to Freshwater’s home on Tuesday afternoon.

Mount Vernon is about 40 miles northeast of Columbus.
