COLUMBUS, Ohio (BP) -- The Ohio Supreme Court heard arguments in late
February in the case of a science teacher fired for talking openly with
students about his Christian faith and theories of Intelligent Design.
John
Freshwater taught at a middle school in Mount Vernon, Ohio, for 20
years before the school board accused him of teaching Christian beliefs
in class during discussions of evolution and homosexuality. The board
also accused him of insubordination because he refused to remove a Bible
from his classroom.

Google, Twitter, and Facebook Leaders Tell Christian Media to Embrace Tech Giants

NASHVILLE – Top leaders from Google, Twitter, and Facebook made it clear that it's best that traditional media embrace the three Internet tech giants, they said while speaking at the annual National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville on Monday.
Guest speaker Claire Diaz-Ortiz, Twitter's social innovation leader, said that while her company was doing some analytics, just three years ago "we started to see that Bible verses were doing really well.""Someone would tweet out Bible verses and 500 people would immediately re-tweet it," Diaz-Ortiz said. "People of faith were really engaged with these Bible verses. Religious content on Twitter is incredibly engaged. You can look at a pastor such as Andy Stanley and see that he will tweet something out and get more reaction and more engagement than famous celebrities like Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber with 50 times as many followers."
