John Freshwater, a two-time "Teacher of the Year," including in 2007, is under investigation by Mount Vernon City Schools for refusing to remove a Bible from his desk, where it has been sitting for 22 years.

Other charges were made by school administrators that John expressed his personal faith on other occasions, after a torrent of public reaction to their censorship of the Bible.

John should have the right to express his faith at school to the fullest extent of the law. And we are confident that the law is on his side.
