Portland Public Schools Terminate Employment of Pro-Life Teacher
Contact: Tom Ciesielka, 312-422-1333
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 18, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- On Monday, December 16, 2013 the school board for the Portland Public School District voted to terminate the teaching contract of Bill Diss, a teacher who has been an outspoken opponent of Planned Parenthood. Mr. Diss experienced censure in his teaching career beginning in 2007 when he publically opposed the building of a new Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in downtown Portland. The current action follows Mr. Diss' opposition to being forced to facilitate presenters from the Teen Outreach Program (TOP), a program administered by Planned Parenthood, coming into his tutorial session to recruit students.
"Bill Diss is a well qualified teacher with a track record of success," states Dana Cody, President and Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. "As the circumstances surrounding this termination demonstrate, Mr. Diss has done nothing that would merit being fired from his job. LLDF will pursue every possible avenue in defending Mr. Diss' rights in this matter, and hopes to see his rights ultimately protected despite PPS' actions."
