But it's not just about the Bible on the desk. Freshwater, 51, has been at odds with the school administration on other occasions because he put God into his explanation of how the world began.
In one class, Freshwater used Lego pieces to describe the beginning of the world. He dumped the pieces, then asked students if the Legos could assemble by themselves, said Joe Stuart, 18, assistant editor of the high-school newspaper.
When Freshwater taught students about electrical current, he used a device to leave a red mark in the shape of a cross on the forearms of some students, Stuart said.
I feel sorry for him that he does not have the right to burn mark his victims like Christianity did in the good old days.
