Fired Ohio Science Teacher Loses Bid For Additional Hearing
An Ohio common pleas court judge has ruled that fired middle-school science teacher John Freshwater is not entitled to an additional hearing on his dismissal for teaching creationism and promoting Christian religious beliefs in class. According to yesterday's Columbus Dispatch, the judge, after reviewing the 6,344 page long hearing transcript, ruled that Freshwater's request for additional hearings is not well taken.
