Day of Silence creates Turmoil
It amazes me to see the amount of turmoil developing over a single day of silence.
This year a fellow student killed an eighth grade gay student! If this does not send up red flags and alarms to people in our society then people simply are not listening.
The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, the California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
BUT, there seems to be some who don’t want safer schools (perhaps the fact it was “just a gay kid” who was killed?).
The American Family Association issued an Action Alert advising parents to contact administrators of schools to protest the Day of Silence.
CNS News issued a boycott: Boycott Homosexual 'Day of Silence,' Pro-Family Group Says
Then the “parrots” started coming out:
Homosexual sponsored "Day of Silence" in Public Schools
Day of Silence Scam Places Children at Risk
Fighting the gay agenda in schools
They’ve even come up with the Day of Truth in attempt to directly counteract the Day of Silence.
As a rebuttal to the Day of Truth, this video was created.
THANKFULLY, there are more who do want safer schools.
As a side note, I will not be making any posts this Friday in observance of the Day of Silence.
