A theology teacher at a Phoenix Catholic all-girls high school is under fire for drawing a connection between abortion and African Americans; hat tip to PNT for uncharacteristically balanced reporting.

"Online petitioners are demanding that a local Catholic school teacher be removed from the classroom for what they call 'racist and sexist hate speech.'

"The petition, which has garnered more than 2,500 signatures (and counting) over the past couple of days, alleges that an instructor at Phoenix's Xavier College Preparatory, a private Roman Catholic high school for girls, distributed anti-abortion propaganda in class that makes inflammatory claims about abortion and African-Americans."--Stephen Lemons, the Phoenix New Times
