The John Freshwater Case Continues...
ABC News is carrying a story on the case of John Freshwater, the science teacher who was let go after complaints by students and parents that he was teaching creationism and branding arms with crosses. His case has gone to the Ohio Supreme Court. Julie Carr Smyth and Andrew Welsh-Huggins of the AP write:
In his dismissal case, Freshwater is getting legal backing from the Charlottesville, Va.-based Rutherford Institute, a civil liberties group. Science education and humanist and secular groups have joined the side of the school board.
The school board argues that as far back as 1994, a middle school principal told Freshwater to stop distributing an “Answers in Genesis” pamphlet, which contained information about a creationist organization’s seminar, according to a filing by board attorneys asking the court to uphold Freshwater’s firing.
Freshwater also used a handout titled “Survival of the Fakest” to teach his students to doubt science, the board’s attorneys said.
Two lower courts previously upheld Freshwater’s dismissal.
I am sort of surprised that the court offered to hear this case because Freshwater had been so thoroughly trounced by the lower courts and this does not represent compelling interest. I am curious to see how they rule.
