Ohio Teacher Accused of Burning Crosses on Students
MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — A public school district in Ohio says it has hired an independent investigator to look into allegations by parents that a teacher used an electrostatic device to burn crosses on to students’ arms.
The Mount Vernon City School District has assigned an administrator to monitor the classroom of eighth-grade science teacher John Freshwater until the investigation is over.
It’s the district’s latest run-in with Freshwater, who last week refused to obey an order to remove a Bible on his desk from view of students.
