I haven't ever heard of the First Amendment keeping religion and school apart. You have to remember that churches was where schooling actually started. Our forefathers, wrote the Bill Rights as they saw it being needed in our system. I say to you sir, keep your Bible on your desk, it maybe needed later..

In the USA he has the freedom to be a Christian and keep a Bible on his desk to read or refer to during his personel time. I think there are things he can even teach in Ohio about the Bible and the Christian faith. I believe the First Amendment actually defends Mr. Freshwater from this misguided censorship from the school officials. There can be no laws making him or any teacher have a Bible on their desk, and there can be no laws prohibiting it. It's as simple as that. Try reading it. Good for John Freshwater.
