Straight Kids Unite

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...

An essential element of protesting against bullying should be to make it abundantly clear that you are not bullying yourself. For this reason, a DOS Walkout should be promoted as essentially a “fun day of truancy.”

Certainly there are a lot of kids who object to the DOS for religious and/or political reasons. But the vast majority also passively resent it out of its sense of inherent unfairness, propagandizing dialectic, and *importantly*, because it wastes precious time for them to learn.

This last one is not one you would probably think of, but it is perhaps the most important: students *deeply* resent being denied their education while having propaganda forced down their collective throats.

That is, the vast majority of kids don’t particularly like school. Everybody knows that. But at the same time, they do understand that it has a *vital* reason and purpose in the long run. There is a *vital* reason for their discomfort and hard work.

If you took a class of average high school students, and told them “no more education for you, ever”: no high school, no college, nothing, you would have a mini riot on your hands. This is because they *do* understand that education is vital to their lives and prosperity.

Today, entire days of student time are idly wasted at the whim of liberal elitists. The students have to bust their butts to get to school, only to find out the teachers or the government wants to waste their time on utter crap, because they really don’t care. It is insulting and demeaning, and the students know it and resent it.

And it builds up a LOT of righteous rage.

For this reason, the DOSW should be a “fun” protest. The students who walk out have fun, then tell their peers about it. And this makes their peers doubly resentful, because they not only had to listen to indoctrination, but they missed out on a party at the same time.

Importantly, the students will make it clear, after the fact, that they don’t hate homosexuals, or even dislike them. Just that nobody has the “right” to either steal their education or try to indoctrinate them, no matter the
cause.

If you want an education, you have to fight for it.
