'Day of Truth' gives students way to counter homosexual agenda

'Day of Truth' gives students way to counter homosexual agenda Apr 5, 2006 By Michael Foust Baptist Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--For the second year in a row, students across the nation this spring will join together to oppose the promotion of homosexuality in schools and to stand up for biblical values.

The second annual Day of Truth, sponsored by the Christian legal group Alliance Defense Fund, will take place April 27 -- the day after the Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. While the Day of Silence requires teens to remain silent to promote the homosexual agenda and protest what organizers perceive as "anti-gay" discrimination, the Day of Truth simply asks junior high, high school and college students to wear a T-shirt and to pass out cards which say, in part, "I am speaking the Truth to break the silence." The cards are passed out outside of class time.

"What [the Day of Truth] does is it provides an opportunity to participating students to express a different perspective from the Day of Silence," ADF attorney Delia Van Loenen told Baptist Press. "The reason that's so important is because students can't be expected to make good decisions if they're only being told part of the story -- if they're only getting information from the Day of Silence."

The first Day of Truth saw students from 350 schools participate, and ADF organizers hope to have twice that number this year. By comparison, the Day of Silence -- which started at the University of Virginia -- had students from less than 100 colleges and high schools participate in the first year it went national, and didn't pass the 300 mark until its third year.

Why doesn't Westerboro Baptist Church ever protest at these gay rally/recruiting sessions?

THAT would be entertaining for the rest of us...

To hell with that. It would be great to walk up and down the hallways making a racket.

I intend to. I'm a senior in high school, and there is a snowball's chance in hell that I am going to stay silent on that day.

Last year, when I was a senior in high school, half the school was 'silent' that day. The other half laughed at them.

Whoever is insisting that sex education cover homosexual issues never seem concerned about what I feel is a much more important topic: How to prevent children from abuse by sexual predators, either on line or authority figures. This is probably the most serious and growing concern that should be a main focus of sex ed if we are going to have it at all. Of the two types of education: 1. Everything is acceptable, just use a condom, and 2. Abstinence; I think that #2 is the only one that can help prevent the psychological harm that comes from being abused by these predators.

Here's a perfect chance to discuss change is possible with fellow students. Check this out:
Change is Possible Campaign
At the above link you'll find a tolerance test link that will demonstrate whether or not your school is really tolerant, which by definition has to include the ex-gay message, or if the school is pushing the homosexual agenda.

Also, checkout the brochure download link at PFOX. You can distribute the brochures at your school.

Bagpipes sound intensely beautiful. Plus they are loud.

Those who insist on covering homosexual issues are PROMOTING the abuse of children by sexual predators
