Teacher Would Only Accept Paper if it Argued For Abortion

Lifesite News covers  the story of  Palatine High School sophomore, Abigail Cornejo’s tussle with her English teacher, David Valentino.

The argument was over her choice to write an anti-abortion argument for an assignment on controversial topics.   Abigail supplied a detailed account of her back and forth with the nominally Catholic, Valentino who, she said, did not want the topic covered because he was tired of hearing about it.

In a final conversation, Abigail says that he told her she could cover the topic, but only from the pro-abortion position.  This she could not do, so she’s now covering the issue of stem cell research.  She says “My teacher may think I’m ‘over it’, but this is just the beginning.”

Pharmer’s happy to hear that another high schooler is fired up about the pro-life issues, and is filing the account of David Valentino under ‘Stupid Educator Tricks’.
