“Rule One...”

On April 25, adult homosexual activists with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) held their annual “Day of Silence” (DOS) propaganda push. During DOS, teachers and students in roughly three thousand middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country are cynically used as culture war pawns in an effort to legitimize conventionally immoral, objectively deviant and demonstrably high-risk sexual behaviors.
Kids and teachers are encouraged on DOS to disrupt the school day by refusing to speak in class as a show of support to students who self-identify as “GLBT” (No, GLBT has nothing to do with bacon, lettuce and tomato; it’s liberalese for “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender”).
DOS purports to confront the alleged systematic harassment and bullying of sexually confused students who consider themselves “GLBT.” Naturally, where there is actual bullying, anywhere, anytime, for any reason, those responsible should be firmly disciplined. However, the reality is that DOS has very little to do with “bullying” and has everything to do with pro-homosexual, anti-Christian indoctrination.
Consider that during DOS, many kids who hold time-honored traditional values relative to sexual morality (i.e., that human sexuality is a gift from God to be shared between husband and wife within the bonds of marriage) are frequently and ironically tagged as “hateful,” “bigoted” and “homophobic.” (Who’s doing the bullying?)
But this year, something extraordinary happened on the way to the brainwashing. Kids at schools all over the country stood tall and said, “Enough is enough!” Untold thousands of students participated in a peaceful, pro-family counter effort called the “Day of Silence Walkout.”
In unyielding defense of God’s design for natural human sexuality, marriage and family, these gutsy kids stayed home from school on DOS (with their parents’ permission) and let school officials know why. Some of them even participated in peaceful prayer rallies outside school in support of sexual morality and purity.
The DOS Walkout was an overwhelming success and far exceeded the expectations of the dozens of participating pro-family organizations, such as Concerned Women for America (CWA).
Take the Seattle area’s Mount Si High School for instance. Out of 1,410 students, nearly half (638) reportedly walked out of school on DOS with a unified voice saying, “No! We’re here to learn. We refuse to be subject to radical homosexual indoctrination at school or anywhere else!”
The Rev. Ken Hutcherson, a former pro-football player, current pro-family champion and pastor of Antioch Bible Church, led the charge in defense of God’s moral standard at Mount Si. He organized a prayer rally outside the school – which his daughter attends – and was joined by hundreds of parents, children and community members.
This year’s DOS Walkout was an amazing triumph for righteousness and is terrific news indeed. But better news is yet to come. God has a wonderful way of taking that which is intended for evil – such as the upside-down promotion of sexual sin through DOS – and turning it right-side up for good.
Christians, and others who value light over darkness, are often deeply discouraged to watch, with a feeling of helplessness, as moral gangrene sets in to our nation’s cultural fabric. We’re overwhelmed as standards of decency and morality seem to rot away around us.
Well, take heart. With kids like those at Mount Si High School – and elsewhere around the country – taking such a bold stand for truth, we should all be encouraged. The next generation of leaders is clearly not as completely lost as many believe. We’re witnessing a shift in the tide, and I submit that this great nation is ripe for redemption.
Over the next few years, don’t be surprised when, as people hear mention of the so-called “Day of Silence,” they immediately think, “Oh, yeah, isn’t that the day when tens of thousands of freethinking kids come together in defense of that which is good, and stand firm against the promotion of evil?” Don’t be surprised when the “Day of Silence” is no longer considered a day which mocks God’s standard of sexual morality, but rather, is deemed a day which wholeheartedly glorifies it.
Yes, take heart. God’s truth will fill the silent void. His children will take back America for Christ.
It's our only hope.

I couldn't agree more.
It's not just homosexuality. Look how the fashion industry treats little girls and how schools are trying to feminize boys.
the whole school system is corrupt and need a total restart.
Vouchers would solve a lot of this and those who want their kids exposed to this stuff, can have their way, as can the rest of us. Vouchers would remove the contentiousness from the system and let people go where their values are taught.
Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

If only we had 365 days of year of blessed silence from the homo lobby, I would be one happy guy. What you do with your wangdoodle is your business. Don’t drag the rest of into it.
Less PC, more Monty Python.

Playing devils advocate: What about the KKK and Islam starting their own taxpayer funded schools?
If your conspiring to overthrow or terrorize or whatever laws come into play then no deal.
Islam already has some in several states. Taxpayer funded.
I call something gay when it doesn’t work.
There are two essential rights in the Constitution - the right to one’s person and the right to one’s property. These can be summarized further as the right to be left alone. Everything else is an example of them or a means of securing them. If the gay and fem lobbies stood for these essential rights I’d be on their side every day. But they don’t want to leave me, my daughter and my grandchildren alone.

Two words, "Graham Chapman."
See, that is what I fear. There are already Islamic schools.
This is one area of liberal indoctrination I don’t worry about. Every time I am near a bunch of teenage kids I hear them blast each other with “you *&^%ing faggot” or “Dude, that’s so gay” etc...
I’m right in the thick of this. I have three teens. The oldest is in a huge public school, and is about to graduate. The other two are in a private Christian school. They and their friends are not buying into the homo agenda one bit. Of all the kids I know, not one is swayed. It doesn’t seem to matter which school (public or private) they attend. Homosexuality is no more acceptable now than when I was a kid.
I understand the Day of Silence at out local public school was not even recognized. Of a few thousand kids, maybe three participated, and they were considered totally weird.
Every time some survey is published about the attitudes of young people, results show that they are more in favor of gay marriage and gay anything than older people. Maybe as they begin to have children, they will become more conservative in their views.
