Benson High School Teacher Faces Down Planned Parenthood

This is the teacher at Benson High School who said "NO" to Planned Parenthood coming into his classroom to teach sex ed.
Bill Diss is his name and here is a letter he sent out recently seeking your prayer support:

September 17, 2012, a group of people came into my classroom called TOP (Teen Outreach Program). I was notified the week before that they would be coming into my tutorial class where I have been working with the children on basic math skills and helping them in other subjects.

I really felt that presence of evil in the classroom and I asked the fellow for his card and it turned out the people were from Planned Parenthood. I asked them to leave and they went to the principal's office and then a few minutes later the principal and a vice principal came to remove me from class and directed me to go to the principal's office.

I so ask you to please pray for my wife Cathy; this has been so very hard on her and it been going on since March of 2007 when I first got involved with trying to stop Planned Parenthood up by school. She has been stoic and supportive but it is killing her.

I am also asking your prayers for all of the children and I am begging you to even do more. Please read the attachment that Planned Parenthood set home with the children. The last sheet is especially scary because Planned Parenthood has the right to do medical treatment and to use the children in videos and pictures. The Planned Parenthood up on MLK Jr. Blvd. put together these videos (PP's view of abstinence, oral sex, love song, etc.) These are so foul and with computer technology, faces and bodies can easily be changed on videos and pictures.

I am also begging and pleading with you to notify parents, someway and somehow to really watch what they sign. Planned Parenthood is aggressively after the children at Benson, Roosevelt, Jefferson and Madison. I think you know that at the beginning of the school year parents sign many papers and they might not know what they are signing. Planned Parenthood can also sterilize children without parental notification if the child is 15 or over.

On Tuesday I went back to school and the principal told me I had to sit through Planned Parenthood's discussion and they were extremely aggressive obtaining children's signatures by promising them all sorts of gifts and cash. Planned Parenthood is also working on some schools in the Salem area.

I think you know that 40 Days for Life is starting next week and I cannot think of a better outreach then to protect our children by notifying parents. I think it also good for all to contact the district and let them know that we do not want Planned Parenthood in the schools.

All of this is for the children. It is is not a Bill issue and but today I would so appreciate your prayers as I have to meet with the principal and my lawyer and I have no idea how many lawyers or other district personnel will be present from the district. Two years ago during the school year I was part of 16 meetings with union people, lawyers, principals, etc.

As they say, "Life goes on." Let us make sure that happens to our precious children. They are so lovable as I look out at them, and so sweet, and some have had really rotten lives. Please, please, please let them not be harmed in any other way.

God Bless you today and always!

Trying to be Faithful,

Now what is it that Planned Parenthood REALLY wants to do with your kids?
This PDF file is the material from Planned Parenthood.  Read it very carefully, it is very disturbing.

You will note in the literature that the group is led locally by Austin Les and Ernesto Dominguez.  Mr. Dominguez is listed as "undocumented".  Hmm.... Look here at his bio.

We already have these people in Salem high schools, with NO dissension from the teachers.  Don't let this happen again!

Planned Parenthood WILL Continue in S-K Schools

This story goes all the way back to last November.  A parent at North Salem High School was told by his kids that Planned Parenthood was teaching "sex education" at the school.  When he dug into it he found that indeed it was happening.

Letters went back and forth between he and the principal then later he and the superintendent and the spokesperson for the district.
To make a long story short, the principal, Cynthia Richardson, originally denied that the school had Planned Parenthood staff on site teaching a class.  Then, the superintendent, Sandy Husk acknowledged that they in fact did have PP staff teaching the course.  The parent, Doug Muravez insisted that the class subject matter was not his complaint but rather that the PP staff was teaching it not the district teachers.

The story progressed into the spring and eventually, much to our satisfaction, and Doug's, the matter was resolved with a letter from Sandy Husk stating that the class would no longer be taught by PP staff but would be taught by a Salem Keizer Schools teacher.  We thought that was it.  

Today, I received the following email from the parent Doug Muravez: 

Bill:

I was notified today that the School District will not be honoring their agreement.  Attached are copies of the letters.  They are also trying to say that the instructors from Planned Parenthood are not really Planned Parenthood employees because they were only hired for that project.  I've also seen a copy of the new Teen Outreach Program that they will be presenting, and it contains multiple referrals to Planned Parenthood for more information. In other words, the curriculum now directly links to Planned Parenthood and directs our children to contact them, including how to contact them.  It seems to me that if you're directed, controlled, and paid by someone, that makes you their employee.  And if you're an independent contractor, that would make them an agent of Planned Parenthood, but I doubt they are independent contractors and the courts would probably find them to be employees in a labor dispute even if they had a contract that said they were independent contractors.  

You've been great at keeping the public updated.  It looks like this is going to continue for quite some time, and we can't trust the school district to keep their word.

Here is the letter from Superintendent Sandy Husk to Mr. Muravez

Here is the note explaining the "TOPS" program (Planned Parenthood's program) 

Is this more school district hypocrisy?  The parent, and other parents, who objected to this did not have a problem with the curriculum but rather, with the fact that Planned Parenthood was teaching in their schools.  

I am putting together ALL of the previous letters as sent to and from the parent and the school district as I gather them and will update this post.
