John Freshwater has lost his court case seeking to overturn the Mount Vernon
school board’s decision to fire him for teaching creationism and religious doctrine
in his middle-school science classroom.
<snip>
The school board put Freshwater on unpaid leave and voted in 2008 that it intended to fire him.
Among the allegations were that he failed to remove religious materials from his classroom
and burned crosses on students’ arms with a Tesla coil during science experiments.

The Ohio Department of Education issued a letter of admonishment against Freshwater
for using the electrical device [a Tessla coil to burn crosses] on students’ arms,
but it removed the letter in July pending an appeal by the Virginia-based Rutherford Institute.
