Abortion Video Lands Milpitas Teacher In Hot Water

MILPITAS (CBS 5 / KCBS) ― A teacher at Milpitas' Russell Middle School is on paid leave after showing parts of a graphic anti-abortion film to his chemistry class.

The film was shown on January 23, after students in all five of Randy Yang's chemistry classes finished taking a test.

The first year teacher reportedly asked his students if they wanted to watch a film about the water cycle, or on abortion. All five classes chose the abortion video.

The film is called "The Silent Scream," and anti-abortion groups have used it since 1984. Parents received a letter from the school district explaining that the abortion video is not part of the chemistry curriculum.
