Ann Arbor, MI (LifeNews.com) — Ani Seromik was given an assignment to report on a medical procedure of her choice for her health, sciences and technology class. She chose to giver her oral presentation on abortion, but her teacher objected, first telling her she needed approval from the school's Health Education committee, and later suggesting she change the focus of her report. "I wanted to do it because I knew people didn't know anything about abortion," Ani said. The school's principal approved the topic, but still Ani's teacher tried to redirect and discourage her. She suggested Ani get her materials from Planned Parenthood, and calling her aside to a storage closet to argue why she should not follow through with her report. Regardless, Ani presented her report, and was thanked by her classmates, several admitting that they had not known what abortion was about. The school nurse, who was present to fill any gaps in the presentation said the subject was covered very well. Ani's teacher even gave her an A+.
Ani deserves better than an A+ for her courage and stick-to-it attitude. We need more students like her.
