The principal at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville, Minn., advertised a “day of silence” during which students refrained from speaking to protest for LGBTQ causes.
The principal, Kelly McDermott, promoted the event, which took place late last week, on the school’s Schoology page.
“Tomorrow … is a Day [sic] of silence. This is a day where lgbtq [sic] members and their allies vow to not speak for the entirety of the day,” she posted. “We realize that a bunch of students not speaking for an entire day may be inconvenient or stressful, but we would like our school to be part of something more which is for all students to feel welcome and safe.”
“Together we RISE,” she concluded.
Students at McDermott’s school range in age from 10 to 14 years old.
Lakeville’s middle school was not alone in hosting a day of silence protest. Stillwater middle schoolers were also encouraged to partake in the event, which is organized at a national level each year by the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
“Where LGBTQ+ people in schools are often silenced and erased, this direct action is a reclamation of that forced silence and erasure,” GLSEN explains on its webpage about the protest. “This time LGBTQ+ students and educators are choosing to be silent on their own accord and demonstrate the impact on the entire school community when LGBTQ+ people are silenced and erased.”
The group published guides for both students and educators who participated in the protests. It also hosts a sign-up link to help organize participants across the nation while claiming that the event is a “student-led demonstration.”
“If you cannot be silent all day, hold a moment of silence at the beginning or end of each class period and use the opportunity to introduce LGBTQ+ inclusion,” the educator guide explains.
Information about the day of silence is found via GLSEN’s “elementary resources” page, which features a very young girl with “LGTBiQ+” written across her forehead while the rest of her face is painted with the gay pride flag.
GLSEN also promotes a variety of other tools to help teachers introduce sexuality to young children. One of these is called the “gender triangle,” a diagram that illustrates a theory of gender that is comprised of one’s body, expression and social perceptions. Teachers who use the gender triangle are told to introduce the topics of transgenderism and gender non-conforming people while telling their classes about pronouns.
GLSEN also wants teachers to present students in grades 3-5 with “identity flowers,” diagrams that teach students about intersectionality. Children as young as six should also be taught to disregard traditional gender roles, according to a first grade lesson plan developed by the organization.
Where do communities get people like this? And why are they promoted into crucial positions of power and authority? And when they totally screw up with that authority, WHY are they left in that authority?
Pedos are reprobates. I wish people would start having them arrested with the material they are showing them in schools. If a stranger on a street did this to kids, they’d be in jail.
Wonder if this guy heads the school’s “Board of Idiotcation”!
Gal.
Yep.
A real head shaker.

A good day to hold high credit oral quizzes.
If they decide to promote it by shutting up, I’ll take it.
The students were supposed to stay silent all day? Did they do that or say something about the “fa.....”?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
That sounds great! It's a special day where all the F@ggots shut their mouths! We need to make it a week! Then a month! Then a year!
Eventually we can get them to permanently shut up and we won't have to listen to their silly crap anymore.
I’d send my kid to school with a bullhorn.
Which public school district is NOT grooming or promoting this sick nonsense??
About a silent protest for the rest of the century?
LGBTQ(anon) Protest?
So.. "Down With Fags!"
I'm all for it. Protest the queers!
Seem as a lot of these types have names that are appropriate for either of the two
genders. — Kelly
So disappointed that the good teachers who oppose this aren’t protesting. They should be leading the parents in fighting this insanity. They know it’s wrong.
Now if a conservative student asked for a day of silence to protest liberalism in schools, I bet he will be suspended for promoting hate...
