To be honest I’m ambivalent about the gayday issue, but isn’t this a freedom of speech issue? If folk want to object to something surely they should be allowed to do so!
Not on this issue. Its a day of silence. Basically stating they want to silence anyone who disagree with them.
Personally I think a day of silence is disruptive to the teaching environment. If I were to ask a student a question and they did not respond I would call it insubordination and they would be the ones in detention, not the ones who voiced opposition.
