An Oregon teacher has been fired for refusing to allow Planned Parenthood in his classroom. It is important to remember that Planned Parenthood receives enormous amounts of government money for coming to schools to \u201ceducate\u201d young people about their sexuality. Much of this money comes in the form of pass-through money from the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

However, it is up to the state government to determine which contracts will be awarded.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood also stands to receive huge financial benefits from Obamacare through block grants, again, for \u201ceducation\u201d in their ideas about sexuality.<\/p>\n

This is indirect funding for abortion, since Planned Parenthood is the nation\u2019s number one abortion provider.<\/p>\n

From The Oregonian<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Bill Diss, the Benson High School teacher who\u00a0had accused the district of retaliating against him for his pro-life views<\/a>, was\u00a0formally dismissed from the district<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Portland School Board\u00a0approved his firing by a 6-1 vote<\/a>, with Steve Buel as the sole dissenter.<\/p>\n

Buel said he did not agree with the process that led to the dismissal.<\/p>\n

Liz McKanna, the attorney for Diss, said on Monday before the vote that they would \u201ccertainly\u201d consider pursuing further legal action if he were fired.<\/p>\n

Several supporters on Monday spoke up to defend Diss, attacking the board for pushing him out of the district. Others clutched \u201cWe Love Mr. Diss\u201d signs.<\/p>\n

Diss, who taught at the district for 11 years, had been\u00a0placed on administrative leave in March<\/a>. He had been suspended for \u201cunprofessional, intimidating and\/or harassing behavior,\u201d according to documents from the district.<\/p>\n

Diss challenged his dismissal Nov. 14 at a pre-termination hearing, where he insisted the district was unfairly targeting him. He also said they should have placed him on a plan of assistance before firing him.<\/p>\n

Diss was reprimanded by the district in Sept. 2012 after he refused to allow employees of teenage pregnancy prevention initiative to speak to students because the employees were from Planned Parenthood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
