US Teacher accused of burning crosses into student's arms
A Mount Vernon (Ohio, US) science teacher who has refused to remove his personal Bible from the top of his school desk is now also accused of conducting a religious “healing session” at the school and burning crosses onto student’s arms. Administrators also claim that the science teacher taught his own religious beliefs in his classes.
The burning is alleged to have occurred in a science class when the teacher asked for volunteers to see how an electrical device worked. The student was not told that the activity would hurt or that it would burn a cross onto his skin.
An independent investigator will be hired to look into the claims and an administrator will monitor his classes during the investigation.
