3. I started this thread because I wanted to know what the device could possibly be referred to in the

articles, so I did some research and found it. I hoped someone would appreciate it. (on edit, the subthread is deleted now, good riddance)

6. It was a GREAT OP

Thank you. That the teacher would use such a device on children is horrifying.

Doing so to promote some sick view of religion is even worse.

4. That's a nasty looking device. Teacher is a bit of a religeous nut, apparently.

"The same day, administrators ordered Freshwater to remove religious items, including Bibles, the Ten Commandments and posters with Bible verses, from his classroom. Freshwater complied but objected to removing his personal Bible from his desk.

Philemond says that Freshwater taught religion in his classroom.

"When Mr. Freshwater disagrees with teaching material based upon his own religious beliefs, he advises the students that, although he is forced to teach from the textbooks, the teachings are wrong or not proven according to the Bible," Philemond's letter states.

As moderator of a meeting of Christian athletes in the school, she said, Freshwater led a healing ceremony to drive Satan from an ill school visitor and asked students to distribute Bibles to other students. He was supposed to be there as an observer, the district has said."

:wtf:

7. definitely a nut and definitely religious.

He used the device to shock kids, too, and received (only) a letter of reprimand for it.

8. School Boards are the bottom of the barrel of politicians.

They don't even know that he did something wrong.
