I only discovered this trio on iTunes like TODAY...I'm not a fan of the
genre, but this piece is almost Middle Eastern-sounding. Great arrangement
and percussion.

Ohio Teacher to be fired for pushing religion on students
John Freshwater, a Mount Vernon Ohio middle school teacher, is to be fired for teaching Intelligent Design and burning crosses in students arms. This is an ...
good. religion has no place in todays society and should definitely not be
in our schools. if the devil existed ( I don't believe in fairy tales) then
religion would be his or her favorite tool. nothing pulls people apart from
each other like religion. wars are fought over it, people die in the name
of it. people get persecuted for it, and those in north america that speak
out against it are told that they are "atheist scum" and are going to "burn
in hell"\ Fuck religion. All forms of it.
My take on the whole thing. Having a Bible on his desk. No problem. So long
as he wasn't reading it while he should have been working, I wouldn't care.
Teaching from an unapproved textbook. Problem. He'd need to be disciplined.
Teachers aren't the same as professors. They don't get the same amount of
academic freedom. Branding students. BIG problem. I would charge him with
assault. He should lose his teaching license over this.
Having a bible is fine but not in a school setting. Wearing symbols should
be alright as long as its not constantly in someones face like a teachers
desk. I remember in elementry public school music class they made us sing
church choirs. Religion should be avoided in school period. .....And Just
throwin it out there, its counterproductive to believe in such silly
things. However, if you do believe in it , just leave it at home
Hahahaha you are funny. I am religious but guess what I like science
because I like to learn how the world works I may not be the smartest on
the subject but I'm young I need to learn. The problem you guys are always
complaining about is the religion freaks the ones that just take their
religions to the extremes. So next time before you spew crap how about you
take a look at some of the more mild religion people first.
Sacked him yesterday. "The school board in Mount Vernon, Ohio, has voted to
fire middle-school science teacher John Freshwater for preaching his
Christian beliefs in class and branding some students on the arm with a
cross. The board voted, 5-0, on its intent to terminate Freshwater's
contract. His lawyer said he would request a hearing to challenge the
firing"
I think they should brand a pentagram on his forehead. If a teacher was
caught doing that this wouldn't even be an argument. What's on next
semesters syllabus, a crown of thorns for every student? These christians
make me sick and when people look back at them they will feel the same way
I do, that is, if they don't rewrite history....which they love to do.
What the hell gives this guy the right to teach this garbage to his
students at a public school? I am sure the parents do not agree with this.
He should also be given some intellectual testing. Religious people tend to
have no friggen clue about real science.
I'm an atheist and frown on what this teacher did but I wouldn't put it
past students to burn the crosses into their own arms and conspire agianst
the guy. When students don't respect their teacher they will make that
teacher's life hell. No pun intended.
Who cares if he has a bible in the class room. But for god sakes why cant
people keep their religous beliefs to themselves. They always want to
convert people. And you cant brand students..That is assault. He should do
jail time
and this dear children is exhibit A for proving usa is still in mideivil
times. and people are surprised usa is one of the most dumbest countries on
earth.. congratz on the obecity too btw we r all proud that we aint you
losing his job won't help it may drive him outragies and become a KKK or
something i belive something like teaching extra courses without gitting
paid or commuitey hours will help him to stable alittle bit..jesus
(After checking Wikipedia) This guy is amazing. He is suing the schools for
discriminating against his religion, seeking $1 million. AND his job. Who
would want a guy who BURNED CROSSES INTO KIDS ARMS.
"He pushed his religious views on students and taught creationism. The
school board is debating wether to fire him. Oh, did we mention he's a
sociopath that branded students in class."
@theSAguitarman ; Damn its a shame if those branding-stories were lies. But
pushing religion to students should suffice to get the teacher fired.
Fucking up brains is child abuse.
It's absurd that it took this long to remove John Freshwater. The state
should revoke his teaching certificate. He's broken every basic rule that
applies to a public education.
Not only is this morally wrong, it's also AGAINST THE LAW. I'm pretty sure
that this would be assault against the kids. Not only should his ass get
fired, he should be in jail.
