At the School Committee meeting Tuesday night, several parents and community members spoke out against what was called by one Lowell Street resident as the "homosexual agenda of Lexington High School."

LHS was the location of adult protestng and students battling out agendas inside the school. The Day of Silence is a national effort to recognize those who feel disenfranchised because of the social bias against their sexual orientation.

LHS is one of the several high schools in the area that is in the forefront of pushing the sodomy lobby on children.

Second only to Newton Mass.

Ok it's about time congress pulls all federal funding of sick schools like this.

Do not send your kids to school that day. The school district loses money each day your child misses school (at least that's how it works here in Cali).

A year or two ago the illegal immigrants were protesting something or other and they called for a one-day boycott of school and work. Oh, how the teachers discouraged the students missing school. Any other day, they'da been all for a boycott by illegals. But in this case, where it affected their pocketbooks directly, they were dead set against it.

I would make it my mission not to be silent.

The parents must keep fighting. Just keep it up. Oh, and pull your kids from the public school system if you can.

[joesnuffy]

less than 1% of the kids and staff are sodomites and or lesbians...

and they force the whole school to kowtow to their propagandizing and agenda...

This is not your granddaddy's America...

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men
to do nothing....

And this surprises you how?

"The Day of Silence is a national effort to recognize those who feel disenfranchised because of the social bias against their sexual orientation."

Could someone please post the "Not this *&^% again" pic? It's used a lot, but this foolishness certainly deserves it.

Gosh, no wonder they can't find the time to teach history, math and English.

If this is all that the word "disenfrancise" means, I guess there are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Flat-earthers, UFO-nuts, gun-nuts, etc..etc..etc.. who feel "disenfranchised", whites, Asians, blacks, Hispanics, etc...etc...etc...

What if the kids don't want to remain silent?

Government should not be running schools. The entire education system should be privatized. Let education companies compete for parents' education dollars at all levels, from kindergarten thru college and grad schools.

Thanks for the tagline. I needed a new one.

NAMBLA apologists ("It's not child-molesting. It's an 'alternative life style.'")

Yes - I am biased against SODOMY. Quit calling it "sexual orientation" or a "lifestyle choice." If you engage in sodomy, you are a mentally sick person. And stay the f-ck away from my kids.

How's that for tolerance??

Stories like this deserve an extra "Not This S*&t Again" picture.
