French History Teacher Loses Job Over Abortion Debate

November of 2010, a French history teacher named Philippe Isnard was suspended for handing out prolife matericals and images of aborted babies during an abortion debate in his 10th grade history class.  Philippe was a history teacher in Manosque, France. Thursday of last week Isnard was fired from the National Education System of France.  Along with being fired, Isnard lost his position without salary, benefits, financial compensation or social welfare.

The firing of Isnard was backed by a pro-abortion feminist group called Prochoix.  The group called on the Education Minister to punish Isnard.

The Education Minister, Luc Chatel, stated, "What has happened is unacceptable.  Professors are under obligation to respect neutrality and to have respect for the person."

The consequences that have been given to Isnard are considered to be the harshest possible disciplinary measures.  With these disciplinary measures, Isnard will no longer be able to teach in any state-funded schools.

Please pray for this man and his wife and two children that the Lord would use this situation to grow him and shape him, and that this family would be taken care of.
