A New Hampshire teacher has been fired after she secretly escorted a pregnant special needs student to an abortion clinic.

The female teacher, who has not been named to protect the identity of the student, admitted to her employer that she faked a sick day for the mission.

She told staff she had food poisoning but instead drove a student to the medical facility, according to court documents.

The teacher was listed as working for Regional Services and Education Center Inc, a nonprofit based in Amherst, according to the Boston Globe.

The umbrella institution serves grade five to 12 students with special educational needs and disabilities across several schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

It comes after New Hampshire's Education Commissioner and Frank Edelblut aired the allegation in an opinion piece he penned in April called 'Thank God someone is looking out for the children'.

While slamming a litany of issues in the school system, he questioned 'should we turn a blind eye' when 'allegedly, an educator lies by calling in sick so they can take a student – without parental knowledge – to get an abortion?'

He also called out 'school counselors who encourage students to transition their gender without involving a parent' and a 'mentor teacher who is drinking on the job' while 'other educators turn a blind eye'.

Edelblut is a former GOP candidate for governor who last year expressed disappointment over the defeat of 'parental rights' legislation which would have led to greater transparency for parents into what goes on at schools.

State officials opened a probe into the teacher's alleged failure to separate the personal lives of the students from her role as their classroom educator.

Was the child raped? How old was the father? Was she being sexually abused?

This teacher needs to lose her license and be made to answer quite a few questions.

Agreed. When I taught school (retired 2013) we were under law obligated to report any cases of abuse we suspected. They do not mention the age of the child in the section I read but this could also included statutory rape.

I called in sick a few times as a teen, including making up a sickness, but the giving a reason and especially a fake reason just didn’t work for me, it made me feel servile, and the fibbing didn’t fit me at all, for the rest of my life I just told them that I would not be there today, no reasons, no excuses.

I'm having great success with telling them that every single day.

but instead drove a student to the medical facility,

I guess they want me to believe that Auschwitz was a "medical facility" too.

Lol, I may have wrote that badly, I don’t tell them “no reason, no excuses” I just notify them I won’t be in, I don’t see why an adult who won’t be in for work needs to tell them why and especially to make up a “tummy ache” like a school kid, adults don’t need to play games.

This is state run education. They care about everything except the children.
Homeschool. Get your children away from these people!
