Outed and Fired

[politics]
From the 22 October 2005 Sacramento Bee:

"[Wynette Sills,] the mother of a Loretto High School student obtained photographs that exposed a drama teacher [Marie Bain] as a former Planned Parenthood volunteer, a revelation that led to the teacher's firing last week. It wasn't the first time Wynette Sills raised her anti-abortion views on the all-female, private Catholic campus.

Sills, who leads anti-abortion rallies outside Sacramento-area Planned Parenthood offices three times a week, complained to school administrators last year about a classroom presentation on domestic violence, said Gail Erlandson, a theology teacher for 11 years at Loretto.

[...]

Sills provided photos of Bain escorting women into the clinic in a September 19 e-mail with a letter stating: "If the identification is verified, clearly this individual cannot be a part of the Loretto staff."

Sills [previously] objected to brochures listing agencies that offer help for women because they included Planned Parenthood, which supports abortion rights. The brochure was later revised.

So, as far as we know, Ms. Bain never mentioned abortion in her class (she's a drama teacher - why would she??) and the hysterical Ms. Sills would rather her daughter and her classmates get incomplete and inaccurate information about what choices are available because some don't fit her narrow viewpoint.

How so very charitable of her.
