The school board of a small central Ohio community voted Friday to fire a teacher accused of preaching his Christian beliefs despite staff complaints and burning the image of a cross on students' arms, according to the Associated Press.

Photos of the of the alleged injuries suffered when an eighth grader was burned by his science teacher.
(HR On Call)Mount Vernon Middle School veteran science teacher John Freshwater has denies any wrongdoing, his attorney told the Mount Vernon News.

Freshwater also displayed the Ten Commandments in his classroom and taught creationism, according to an independent investigation launched after the parents of the student who was allegedly branded filed a lawsuit.

Strangely enough, this issue is hinged more upon the teaching of creationism and intelligent design than the incident of 'tattooing' a cross onto a student. Apparently the school board let the cross incidents slide and did not bring the issue up again until his curriculum came under fire. I would think the cross incident to be the more alarming of the two but apparently that was not the way the school board saw it.

Personally, I feel that religious ideologies should be kept out of schools, it's a personal matter which should be deemed as a matter of choice for students to consider on their own time.
