Via Religion Clause, a lawsuit against controversial Ohio high school teacher John Freshwater has been settled, according to the Columbus Dispatch:

The family of a boy who said his eighth-grade science teacher burned a cross on his arm with an electric lab instrument and taught Christian doctrine in the Mount Vernon classroom has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit against the teacher.

Attorneys for the insurance carrier for Mount Vernon City Schools and teacher John Freshwater and the family of Zachary Dennis have chosen not to release details of the proposed settlement, court deputy Scott Miller said.
