It would be nice if they would vow a whole month of silence.

This "Day of Silence" is a great idea!
We need to have the 'Rats adopt it. Then will have at least one day of peace and quiet in the year.
Better yet, how about a "Week of Silence" or a "Month of Silence"?
Get ready for national stories on a schoolteacher somewhere that penalizes a student for not participating in a class discussion.

Would this day of silence include their booming car stereos and if so might I suggest that they extend their protest for a year or more to make sure that it is completely effective?

250,000, yeah right. When you don't have many people supporting your cause then have a "Day of Silence" so nobody can actually see how few you have. They might as well claim 10 million since nobody will know who is protesting.

Will there be a day of silence in support of those who suffer bias because they choose to exercise their right to speak on April 21st?

Their numbers are misleading. While they may have registered 2,600 schools, only a handful of students (roughly 10-15%) at the individual schools observe the silence pledge.

How about a day of silence for bias against Christian and other traditional religious believers on campus, or even bias against conservatives or Republicans?

What is it with the constant gimmicks on the left? It seems like toddler-birthday-party-politics where everything has to have a silly theme.

GLSEN's 2003 National School Climate Survey found that more than 4 out of 5 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and nearly 30 percent report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety.
An excerpt from "Release of 2003 National School Climate Survey Sheds New Light on the Experiences of LGBT Students in Americas Schools"
"... "This years findings clearly demonstrate that despite modest measurable gains, violence, bias and harassment of LGBT students continues to be the rule, not the exception, in Americas schools," said GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings. "This research reveals what must be inherent to so many educators and parents: harassment has a negative impact on LGBT students academic performance and college ambitions. To ignore these numbers is an irresponsible message to all students that any promise of equal access to education remains forged and fictitious..."
"These numbers are a wake-up call - and a direct challenge - to the 41 states that so far remain without policies that explicitly protect LGBT students. We know that such policies, when fully implemented, are having a positive impact," continued Jennings. "GLSEN continues to lead efforts to institute and implement policies that work, promote successful in-school programs, and empower our nations educators with tools and knowledge that will lead to safe and effective classrooms for all students."
GLSENs National School Climate Survey is the only national survey to document the experiences of LGBT students in Americas schools and has been conducted bi-annually since 1999. This years survey includes responses from 887 LGBT middle and high school students from 48 states and the District of Columbia."
Only 887 students in 48 states, plus DC? That's 18 students per state. If this problem is as widespread as GLSEN claims, why aren't there thousands of complaints in every state? Given GLSEN's national influence as the fifth largest homosexual "rights" organization, they could get only 877 responses to their survey?
New Study Indicates Gays and Lesbians Prone To Psychological Symptoms and Substance Abuse--But School Harassment Rates Not Higher for Gay Males
"... But bullying at school, the study noted, was reported no more often by gay men than by heterosexual men. Reports that gay men and lesbians are disproportionately vulnerable to school harassment "are often taken at face value," the researchers noted, with researchers failing to draw a comparison to heterosexual students, who--at least in this study--were found to suffer similar high rates of school bullying and harassment..."

Homosexual Agenda Ping + Triple Bagger Projectile Alert.
If anyone thinks that homosexuals are not targetting kids in school for indoctrination and recruitment, he must have been in a coma for 25 years.
I am still amazed that this is allowed in TAXPAYER funded screwels.
Yet another sickening example of why parents should SNATCH their kids out of school NOW!!!
Grandparents, take note - try to convince your kids to homeschool your grandkids - or enroll them in good, vetted private schools. Maybe help them with tuition if they need help. Children are precious and they can easily become ruined by this cr*p.
