John Freshwater told the Mount Vernon Board of Education that he believed the board was not being updated on the testimony from his hearing.
During Monday’s board meeting, Freshwater summarized the recent testimony of ten students.
The ten students were from the same class as Zachary Dennis, Freshwater said.
Freshwater supplied the board with copies of the affidavits from the witnesses.
Board members did not respond to Freshwater’s comments but did allow him additional time beyond the standard three minutes for public participation.

- AccountabilityInTheMedia.com was begun in 2009 to respond to inaccuracies in the media’s coverage of the John Freshwater and Mount Vernon Board of Education controversy. Since posting a response to The Columbus Dispatch editorial of January 7, 2009, “Teaching moment,” which was about Freshwater, I followed up with details from the state administrative hearing. Although I do have opinions about various aspects of the controversy— I support Freshwater’s right to have a Bible on his desk; I also support his right to due process—this website is not affiliated with Freshwater or any other party involved in litigation with the school.
