Schapira’s Planned Parenthood ties prompt recusal request from TUHSD decisions

schapiraAttorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom issued two letters on Thursday concerning Planned Parenthood’s involvement in sex education curricula that the TUHSD (Tempe Union High School District) has considered in recent weeks. The attorneys ask the school district to recuse one of its board members; David Schapira, a former state senator, from any consideration of the district’s adoption of sex education curriculum because of his close ties to Planned Parenthood.

The attorney’s believe that the curricula, they say that, if adopted, would likely violate a state law that requires preference to be given to abstinence, childbirth, and adoption, not abortion.

One of the letters exposes falsehoods in a recent Planned Parenthood Arizona e-mail about the pro-abortion group’s involvement in the District’s sex education curriculum considerations.



In the letter directed to Tempe Union High School District’s legal counsel requests the recusal Schapira from any decisions related to sex education curricula. The letter explains that Schapira has exhibited public support for Planned Parenthood; has received campaign contributions from Howard; and has received endorsements from Planned Parenthood Arizona’s political arm, which praised him for voting consistently with Planned Parenthood’s positions.




  1. It’s just business as usual for the Democrats. They will either ignore ADF or whine that their 1st Amendment rights are being abused…….

  2. Actually, the children deserve a well round education to include sex education contrary to what the flat earth right wing religious groups have to say. Aren’t these the same yahoos screaming for government to stay out of their lives and less government regulations while they have no qualms about slam dunking the rest of the population with their onerous and invasive laws.
