Well, things have changed since I was young. A Milpitas teacher went one better and showed five classes of Russell Middle School eighth graders the anti-abortion classic, Silent Scream. First-year teacher Randy Yang screened clips from the film that Planned Parenthood calls "riddled with scientific, medical, and legal inaccuracies" on Jan 23. The next day he was put on paid leave. Two weeks later, Principal Laura Foegal wrote to parents saying the film had been "shown without direct permission." The San Jose Mercury News reported yesterday that Yang's saga has come to a close, as the Milpitas school district board accepted his resignation in a closed session. *Not true. — Andy Wright
