March 22, 2013 (American Life League) - An exemplary math and computer science teacher has been unjustly escorted out of Benson High School by police following a protracted battle with school officials about Planned Parenthood’s presence in the school and its association with his students.
(Bill Diss)
Bill Diss was notified on Tuesday after the last student left his class that he was being placed immediately on administrative leave “pending a recommendation to the superintendent that you be dismissed from your employment with Portland public schools for reasons that have been discussed with you.” The mild-mannered Mr. Diss told STOPP that he was given only a few minutes to gather his belongings before police escorted him out. He was ordered not to return to the Portland, Oregon, school where he has taught for 11 years.
Mr. Diss is an outstanding teacher, who recently was awarded certification and recognition as the only teacher in Oregon who is qualified to teach college level computer science to high school students for dual credit. He has taught at the college and high school level for a total of 18 years.
Planned Parenthood has been in pursuit of Mr. Diss since 2007 when he began organizing efforts to stop Planned Parenthood. A STOPP press release from February of 2009 noted that Planned Parenthood of Columbia Willamette wanted Bill Diss’ teaching license revoked. The press release quoted American Life League’s Jim Sedlak: “Bill has organized one of the most effective efforts against Planned Parenthood in the country. It’s no surprise Planned Parenthood will resort to anything—even going after his teaching license—in order to silence him.”
Bill was opposing, on his own time, outside of any school activities, the construction of a Planned Parenthood killing center in an African American neighborhood in Portland. The Planned Parenthood business was eventually built, and today targets minority women for abortions.
Planned Parenthood was unsuccessful in its revocation bid but, incredibly, a decree came from the school district that Bill could not indicate that he was a teacher at Benson or that he taught for the Portland schools when he was giving talks outside the school.
Things really started heating up again at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year when Planned Parenthood of Columbia Willamette began to push its Teen Outreach Program (TOP) in partnership with Benson High School. The program is fueled by a multi-million dollar Obamacare teen pregnancy prevention grant, funneled through a coalition of Planned Parenthood affiliates. Benson High is located in the inner city, where sixty-two percent of the students qualify for free or reduced price lunches.
On September 17, 2012, Planned Parenthood operatives entered Mr. Diss’ classroom where he was tutoring students in basic math skills and other subjects. They expected to be given the floor to recruit students for the Teen Outreach Program. Because Mr. Diss had been notified that TOP representatives were coming to speak to the class and they produced ID showing they were from Planned Parenthood rather than TOP, Mr. Diss asked them to leave his classroom. They left, and a few moments later the principal and vice principal came to remove Mr. Diss from class.
The next day he was forced to sit through a Planned Parenthood presentation. “They were extremely aggressive in obtaining the children’s signatures by promising them all sorts of gifts and cash,” Bill said. Planned Parenthood filed a formal complaint against Mr. Diss with the school. You can read STOPP’s coverage about the events of that day and the TOP permission forms here.
Mr. Diss later discovered that the TOP permission form that was sent home the first day of school to Vietnamese-speaking parents used his name in a way that made it seem that he approved of the program. Mr. Diss’ attorney sent a notice to Planned Parenthood and Portland Public Schools complaining of defamation and demanding a retraction of information they sent to parents that indicated he approved of Planned Parenthood and the TOP program. He also noted harassment, emotional distress, and civil rights violations by the school in persecuting him and his Christian faith—all of which have been ongoing since the beginning of the school year. The school never issued a retraction.
Since then, Mr. Diss has received biweekly letters from the school, in effect nit-picking his teaching skills and accusing him of things like too much repetition in his mathematics classes, where he was told he could not teach the multiplication tables to math deficient students and could not review factoring. Students were allowed to withdraw from his classes because they did not want to do the extra work required to bring them up to speed in math. He has been through a dozen administrative hearings this year. Two weeks ago he was informed that his contract will not be renewed next year. When he was booted from the school on Tuesday, the only reason given was “for reasons already discussed.”
It is outrageous that Mr. Diss—an outstanding, well-loved teacher—has been totally trampled by this school district at the behest of Planned Parenthood because he cares deeply about the welfare of his students, and for exercising his First Amendment rights to speak out about the injustice of having Planned Parenthood in the community and in the classrooms. The TOP program he objects to even allows students to leave the campus after hours with Planned Parenthood employees.
Let us not forget, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette is the same organization that is behind the disgusting video website Take Care Down There that features skits with such titles as “Horse Penis Virus,” “Bring your sister,” “I didn’t spew,” “Hot & heavy,” “Let me do me,” “Threesome,” and the “Down There Song.”
This is the influence that Mr. Diss is fighting. And this is what he has been harassed, and summarily dismissed, for fighting. If you are an Oregon resident who is concerned about this huge injustice, contact your state legislators and the state board of education and pass this information along to them, asking that they help right this horrible wrong. In addition, please pass this information along to other residents of Oregon and ask them to take action.
The NEA has single-handedly ruined the education system, thanks to the complicity of local school officials and the central socialist government with their leftists sodomiate indoctrination and the systematic dumbing down of our children. A sin and a shame that we will all suffer for. I'd much rather work toward overturning evil school administrations and watch the millstone being tied around their necks rather than getting one for myself due to inaction.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
it’s pretty obvious the Planned Parenthood crowd in Oregon has a good number of operatives who are MENTALLY ILL.
Unions are **not** the fundamental problem with government K-12 schooling. They are merely one of the many symptoms of the undlying disease. So?...What is the fundamental problem?
Answer: Government K-12 schooling is the very definition of a program that is a socialist-entitlement, single-payer, compulsory-use, compulsory-funded, police-enforced, and GODLESS price-fixed monopoly cartel.
Solution: Conservatives and Christians! REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY! Work to shut this government K-12 abomination down!
There are counties ( and even whole states) where, if Christians and conservatives removed their children the entire K-12 monstrosity would simply collapse!
The NEA has single-handedly ruined the education system,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was a ruined idea from the very beginning. It only took one to three generations of socialist-entitlement and compulsory K-12 schooling to give the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt with his many socialist and compulsory programs.
“a decree came from the school district that Bill could not indicate that he was a teacher at Benson or that he taught for the Portland schools when he was giving talks outside the school.”
Bull! No legisative body would tell me that I couldn’t say where I’ve been working for years. If a school board punished me for what I did on my own time, I would consider any contract I signed compelling me to comply with their decrees null and void.
GAZILLIONS OF CHINESE STUDENTS ARE DILIGENTLY STUDYING pre-calculus mathematics, nuclear physics, calculus-based quantum mechanics, trigonometry, linear and abstract algebra, analytical geometry, and so on.
Courtesy of PP in our schools K-12, American students are learning how to lap-dance, how to put condoms on bananas, where to get an abortion, and are being conditioned to be fodder for pedophiles......
CnsNews.com reported on The Future of Sex Education (FoSE) report, written by organized sex education advocates, “to create a strategic plan for sexuality education policy and implementation.”
Also involved are the American School Health Association, the National Education Association Health Information Network – the non-profit arm of the nation’s largest teacher’s union, the NEA – the American Association for Health Education and the Society of State Leaders of Health and Physical Education.
An advisory committee includes Planned Parenthood and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
The authors argue that "too little school time" is devoted to instruction in HIV, pregnancy and STD prevention – a median total of 3.1 hours in elementary school, according to the CDC.
The report includes a glossary that defines gender expression, gender identity, gender roles, and transgenderism.......intended for school use.
The groups are pushing for federal legislation......and tax funding.
====================================================
We must thwart the satanic PP forces....more below.
NEA = Satan = Communist bump
It’s Charlton Heston!
Heavenly Father
There are only a few of us standing up for your point of view and we are being sorely tried. Please help us. In the Holy Name of Jesus through Mary, Amen.
Solution: Conservatives and Christians! REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY! Work to shut this government K-12 abomination down!
There are counties ( and even whole states) where, if Christians and conservatives removed their children the entire K-12 monstrosity would simply collapse!
This must be repeated loudly and often. It cannot be repeated enough.
He looks like a cross between Charlton Heston and Clint Eastwood.
Planned Parenthood is evil incarnate.
All the Planned Parenthood crowd are mentally ill to one extent or the other.
(1) misrepresenting use of tax dollars raised from education bond referenda;
(2) misuse of tax-exempt monies;
(3) non-profit fraud;
(4) laundering non-profit tax-free monies,
(5) tax fraud.
REFERENCE Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes.
“The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting government fraud, money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
L/E needs to examine school bank accounts used to pay for PP activities.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of education bond revenue---to pay for personal and private expenses, credit cards, real estate subsidies and vehicle purchases.
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to falsify that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from muni, federal and state sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for other uses.
<><> L/E should be asked to get ahold of: (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize non-profit bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to operate personal businesses. Fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from govt accounts into personal accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel and gifts from luxury outlets.
=================================================
Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be employed to prosecute NON-PROFITS using govt fraud to advance hidden agendas.

Freedom of Speech under liberalism......you can say anything you want as long as you agree with the party line.
Absolutely on point.. Expect government schools to reflect the prevailing political winds, currently Marxist atheist. Mr. Diss has been done a great service. He is a profoundly effective teacher who is now free to do what he does best, teach.
Amen.
Deliver us from evil.
The Diss family lived in a huge house that butted up against the south side of The Denver Country Club. William Sr. and Minnie Diss had ten children: Martha, Theresa, Eleanor, Bill, John, Lucy, Fred, Beth, Catherine and Sarah. They set a good example for all their children to emulate. Good to learn that Bill has been willing to take up his cross and is defending the truth.
I smell a long and protracted lawsuit. Wish I could be on the jury.
The key to eliminating this situation is abolition of the Federal Government’s Department of Education.
They are the source of income for these programs, including Planned Parenthood. No one works for free, even commies.
Every state in the union has a state Department of Education, and local control is far superior to long-distance dictatorship. The Fed’s input is nothing more that a tax-supported, highly-centralized, big-government organ for anti-God propaganda.
The NEA is just a bunch of tools used by the communists in this country. This is so typical of unions today in this country. I saw that with the ILWU - International Longshore & Warehousemen Union - last year. The local rank and file are, by and large, good people led around by state labor leaders whose arms are being twisted by national labor leaders. Those national labor leaders are patently communists, taking orders from the Chicago-centered, Obama regime and bankster oligarchy.
