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.
