[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

"He told the boys they could continue to wear the shirts as long as they didn't become a distraction to others."

So let me get this straight, these students are free to express their opinion. But if the pro-gay lobby in our public education system makes enough noise and distracts the educational process, then these students can no longer wear the tee shirts?

Can you imagine if all we had to do to deny the rights of others was to create a distraction?

And it seems like the entire "day of silence" is a distraction in itself. This movement tells students not to speak in class? Does this not interfere with the educational process?

Kudos to these students for having the backbone to exercise the rights that others exercise.

A "Day of Silence" isn't a distraction? How does anything get done on that day?
