- Isn't this guy a great example of why we have child abuse laws?

- Ohio has proven once and for all that they are not the "mid-west", as they sound more like the "middle east" with their fundamentalism. The Ohio school board needs to issue a fatwa to get this flat-earth republican shipped back to wingnut land.

- All else aside, anyone who INTENTIONALLY Burns another person especially a child for any reason needs to be arrested and charged for the crime and it is a crime!

- Sounds like a good portion of this community is wacko... Students support this man, he has support in the community, and this hearing has gone on for 15 months? Give me a break! Something is not right here.

- Another religious nut that needs help. People you can't believe something written by a simple minded people thousands of years ago over proven science facts. OMG are you all programmed to believe this crap. hahaha

- It's unbelievable he's not LOOOONG gone!
I see his religion isn't that important to him - he doesn't seem to much believe in rules against bearing false witness - lying about giving students questionaires about religion was no problem until they went and found them.
This is why we have separation of church and state. Otherwise we have people like this guy in the classroom - and they won't always be Christians. Being a non-Mormon in Utah would be even harder than it is, Muslim teachers could drop in to start spreading their own agendas, etc. This guy is just sick, and obviously cannot teach his subject without pushing his religion. - Reply to this comment
- I find this whole situation appalling, disappointing and extremely dangerous in its implications.
Religious views: you can have them, but they do not belong in general education.
Deliberately burning a child's arm: experiment (which I highly doubt) or not there is NO justification; he should be gone (immediately) AND in jail, being prosecuted for assault.
If this has gone on for 21 years, then several someones in the educational hierarchy at that school should "burn".
Fifteen months to get anything like this taken care of: someone in the government or city legal group needs to be fired. - Reply to this comment
- While evolution does exist, it is only one of many explanations about how our universe came into existence. What this teacher did was wrong, and he should be punished, however, this story is just a way for CBS to rile people up. It worked. Most Christians would not burn their students and the really good science teachers don't run away from the fact that many of their students do believe in creation and actually are willing to allow for discussions and may even point out some of the flaws with evolution. There are many, many ways to handle this. This teacher should have looked into better ideas.

- When I was in 7th grade, the first question my teacher asked on Monday morning was, "How many of you went to church yesterday." She then scolded those of us who didn't raise their hands, and told the the class that it was their job to help "save" us. I was from a non-religious family. I'm 64 now, but I've never forgotten how ostracized and embarrassed I felt. It was a horrible year!
Teachers should leave their religious beliefs at home!! - Reply to this comment
