Parents to Protest Pro-Gay Day in Public Schools
The Voice magazine ^ | April 6, 2009 | Laurie Higgins

Posted on 04/06/2009 7:35:52 AM PDT by truthnomatterwhat

A national coalition of pro-family organizations is urging parents to call their children out of school on April 17 if their local school will be permitting students or teachers to remain silent during instructional time for the Day of Silence. The Day of Silence (DOS) is a political action formally sponsored by the partisan political action group, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), since 2001.

The implicit purpose of the Day of Silence is to undermine the belief that homosexuality is immoral. It is the belief of the sponsors of the Walkout that parents should no longer passively accept the political usurpation of taxpayer- funded public school classrooms through student silence.

If schools permit student silence during instructional time, teachers either create activities around student silence or exempt silent students from any activity that involves speaking. In some schools, even teachers are permitted to remain silent during their classes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is time to **permanently** WALK OUT! It time to shut down every government school indoctrination camp in the nation!

Marxism is our nation’s most serious threat. Schools are the Marxists most important weapon. The homosexual agenda is merely part of the Marxist plan to destroy the family and our nation.

Seriously, how about a day of “read at your grade level” or “name the capitals of the states”? I tend to think that not being able to read or write a decent paragraph or perform basic math functions is way more detrimental to self esteem than anything else.

If I had kids in school I’d either tell them to talk and be loud all day or just not send them that day. I teach that same sex partners are abnormal, and I always will say that.

Went to visit a friend in Evergreen, Colorado about 18 months ago. His high school sons' school was celebrating "Coming out day".

I still can't believe it.
