"I am speaking the Truth to break the silence. Silence isn't freedom. It's a constraint. Truth tolerates open discussion, because the Truth emerges when healthy discourse is allowed. By proclaiming the Truth in love, hurts will be halted, hearts will be healed, and lives will be saved."
"Christian students should be allowed to express their viewpoint just like any other student," said Mike Johnson, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund. "The Day of Truth provides an opportunity for Christian students to respectfully present a different viewpoint than students participating in the Day of Silence. Allowing the communication of one viewpoint and claiming it's the only viewpoint is advocating, not educating."
"Students can't be expected to make good, well-informed decisions if they're only hearing part of the story," said Johnson. "Making informed decisions requires having good information."

May the students of America's schools grow up honoring their sexuality and committing themselves to sexual abstinence until Holy Matrimony. Give them Your Grace they need to live out this commitment, Amen.
According to: (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5) "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.

Kids are a lot smarter than adults when it comes to stuff like this. Brainwashing attempts usually have the exact opposite result from the one desired.
As my children say “Thats just gay.”
Okay, y'all, I have teenagers, because of their extra curricular committments, they are involved with other teens their age that represent over 6 different HS's in three different counties. When I read about the silence day, their school was listed, I immediately asked them about it. They had no idea and were repulsed by it. Not one teenager I talked to knew anything about it, even though their schools were listed. NONE OF THE KIDS SAW ANY PARTICIPATION IN THIS as well. I believe the numbers are inflated but, that does not mean we should not be diligent in stopping this nonsense.
Like my 11 year old says, “Eww, it’s just wrong Mommy”
From the mouth of babes.
Author not known: “God bless a child who has a mother who prays for them”
It’s probably just a few homosexual teachers who signed the school up on some activist roster.
All the more reason to keep lines of communication open with the kids. Who knows what else those teachers will be trying on them?
The left-wingers’ attempt to indoctrinate kids goes on.
Just liek it did in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, where are you?
Homosexual women reported a substantially higher rate of substance abuse disorders during their lifetime than did heterosexual women, and "[o]n a life time basis, homosexual women had a significantly higher prevalence of general mood disorders" (p. 87). This study was significant from several perspectives. First, it was a large study of 7,000 individuals which avoided convenience samples and the potential for bias that such samples often introduce. Of the individuals surveyed, 2.8 percent of the men and 1.4 percent of the women were classified as homosexuals. The authors noted, for example, that the lifetime prevalence for two or more psychiatric disorders for men who engaged in homosexual behaviors was 37.85 percent versus 14.4 percent for men who did not engage in homosexual behaviors. For women engaging in homosexual behaviors, the rate for two or more psychiatric disorders was 39.5 percent versus 21.3 percent for women not engaging in homosexual behaviors (Sandfort, et al., 2001). Society's oppression of homosexual people is a hypothesis unlikely to find support in this study, concluded the Netherlands, which is perhaps one of the most gay-affirming and tolerant countries in the world.
High suicide rates among homosexual individuals have been further substantiated in the research literature. In a study reported in The Washington Advocate (2002), Lisa Lindley recruited 927 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered students for her study. She found that 62.1 percent of lesbians had considered suicide compared to 58.2 percent of gay men. Among lesbians, 29.2 percent had actually attempted suicide and 28.8 percent of gay men had attempted suicide.
Studies on sexual molestation and its relationship to homosexuality have mental health consequences. Shrier and Johnson (1988) found that homosexually assaulted males identified themselves as subsequently homosexual seven times more often as the nonassaulted control group. In half of the molestations, physical force was used. The mean age at which the molestation was reported was 18.2 with a range from 15 to 24. The mean age at the time of the molestation was from four to six with mean age of 10. Of the extension group, "one half of the victims currently identified themselves as homosexual and often linked their homosexuality to their sexual victimization experiences" (p. 1192).
Additional data on molestation was found in a recent study by Tomeo, Templer, Anderson, and Kotler (2001). The researchers used a non-clinical sample of 942 adults to compare rates of childhood molestation between heterosexuals and non-heterosexuals. The researchers found that 46% of the gay men and 22% of the lesbians reported homosexual molestation in childhood. In the compared heterosexual group, the homosexual child molestation rates were 7% of the heterosexual men as compared to 1% of the heterosexual women. The researchers noted that this was the first study to report substantial homosexual molestation of girls. The girls had a mean age of 13 at the time of the same sex abuse and the group of abused boys had a mean age of 11. This study was particularly important because the population was not dissatisfied homosexual men and women. Ninety-seven percent of those surveyed were participating in a gay pride celebration at the time they were interviewed. What was particularly intriguing about this study was that 68% of the men and 38% of the women did not identify as homosexual until after the molestation.
I believe childhood molestation and rape is such a horrible crime that its damage cannot be undone or cured. Those people that are violated and abused in this way turn to self-medicating their mental scars and often exhibit depression, suicide, mental disorder and antisocial behavior including homosexuality.
Homosexuality is not a disease and cannot be curred. Like many other mental illnesses it can only be “managed”. If your concerned about you children protect them from child abuse and rape.

We are all doomed.
Human beings do not have free choice and the power of self-determination.
They are basically remote-controlled robots, and we must be the ones at the controls!!!!
</sarcasm>
Separation of school and state PING!
The public schools were bad long before this started happening. What we have here is a sympton of political correctness running rampant through several institutions, the public schools included.
