CANTON, Ga. (September 11, 2014) - Students at a public high school outside Atlanta are rallying behind a teacher who says he's standing up for his Christian beliefs and what he views as his right to talk about Jesus in the classroom.
Hundreds of students poured into hallways at Sequoyah High School Tuesday, holding signs and chanting in support of history teacher John Osborne.
Osborne told WXIA-TV that he didn't feel supported by administrators, so he decided to take a few days off. He said he's talked about God at school for years.
Students mistakenly thought the teacher had been terminated, and staged the protest, according to Cherokee County Schools. They say he remains employed.
Osborne said he's using sick days to take time off and he isn't sure when or if he will return. He told WXIA that he'll "pray about it."
