A Milpitas science teacher who showed eighth-graders a graphic antiabortion video is quitting his teaching job at Russell Middle School.
Randy Yang, a first-year teacher who remains on paid leave, has resigned effective June 30. The superintendent of the Milpitas Unified School District, citing confidentiality rules, refused to say whether Yang would return to work at the school before then.
On Jan. 23, Yang showed clips of “The Silent Scream,” which depicts the abortion of an 11-week-old fetus. Yang showed the film to five classes of eighth-grade science students after they finished taking a chemistry test that had nothing to do with human biology. The next day he was placed on paid leave.
