Freshwater, 52, was fired last month after an outside consulting firm released a report concluding that he taught creationism and was insubordinate in failing to remove a Bible and other religious materials from his classroom.

I need to re-read the constitution. Apparently, when I wasn't looking, they replaced freedom of religion with freedom to brand crosses into students.
