There’s something just wrong with this day and age that young people in school are even devoting this time and energy to to the topic of sex, instead of being there to just get educated in academic subjects.

Can’t we adopt a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for society?? I really just don’t want to hear about it, ever. I am somewhat libertarian on these issues but don’t want dipsticks forcing themselves on others.... especially the innocent and the vulnerable in schools!! So long as the laws are upheld (often a big ‘if’ when dealing with liberals) I simply want to live free of the propagandistic left, and I won’t inquire into their deviancies.

Unfortunately, they won’t shut up and won’t back off, and they have been taking over our society for a long time. So we do have to fight back.....

Don’t worry, we’ll get the symbol back.

The word “gay,” too, which I loved as a child. It was one of my favorite words.

And not just normal, heterosexual sex, but deviant, perverted sex.

Liberals think that they know better than God on any given stance. But I don’t have any satisfaction in knowing that one day, if they don’t see the truth first, they will be facing God Almighty and trying to explain themselves to Him, before He says “Depart from me, ye accursed”. I don’t wish an eternity-that’s forever and ever, no escape, no reprieve-in hell on anyone.

I agree, we have to fight back. I’d like to see more people, in my area anyway, speak up more but it seems those who are the most vocal agree with the homo agenda.

I agree with you. I think a No Violence Day or something like it should be held on the Day of Silence, and it would include everyone. Liberal schools could hold workshops on the Holocaust, etc., kids could wear No Violence buttons. Homosexuals and lesbians, etc., would fade in importance because lots of people are victimized by violence. The Day of Silence as it now stands is exclusionary.

I did this on Friday when I was in a science class as an assistant special ed sub. I posted my snippet of information on this site under the heading, “Notes From the Culture Wars”.

My kids were 7th graders. I read to them information posted on the US Centers for Disease Control website and also mentioned that Matthew Shepard may have been murdered over drugs instead of sexual orientation. The kids had not heard of the US CDC or Matthew Shepard.

I felt that my information may have been a bit over their heads. The girls who were participating in the DOS seemed like nice girls. The assistant teacher in the classroom remarked that she thought they were participating because their friends were doing it. These kids really don’t know much about the gay rights movement. I think that the DOS is a trend with the kids. Most of them don’t put deep thought into it; they’re teenagers, after all, and IMO operate more on the basis of emotion than anything else. Nice young girls don’t want violence against others.

The assistant teacher and teacher in the classroom were both pleasant and respectful to me. The assistant teacher did not agree with the DOS and seemed to think of it as a classroom disruption.

This is a day which is being pushed by the strident few. Teachers have to put up with it now.
