Why not call this what it is?
Several weeks ago a teacher burned the image of a cross onto the arms of several of his students. Using unusually good judgment, the district’s school board voted 5-0 to fire the teacher. Because there is a religious element to the incident, there’s been something of an uproar over the firing. Basically, he is a beloved teacher of the students and there’s the whole religious freedom thing and blah, blah, blah.
This is a newsflash to everyone who things the firing is unfair. With or without an element of religion, this man BURNED several children. This is an act know as battery. Battery is a crime. This makes the teacher, John Freshwater, a CRIMINAL. He should be arrested, tried, jailed and never allowed near children again. John Freshwater is a child abuser.

Gees Louis, it happens all the time! They get so caught up in the religion that they forget the basics! Abuse is abuse whether it’s religion based or not.
I’m glad you’ve called them on the bull!

I’ll assume you meant Louise!
It’s long past time criminal acts got lenient treatment because of religious factors. A crime is a crime, no matter the views of the perp and must be treated as such.
You would be correct sir!
