Family Group Threatens to Sue Homosexual Activists Over Day of Silence
CNSNews.com ^ | 4/9/02 | Melanie Hunter

(CNSNews.com) - A pro-family group is threatening to sue a homosexual advocacy group that is calling on students to observe a "Day of Silence" to promote homosexuality in America's schools Wednesday.

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), is asking students to recognize and protest the plight of homosexual students by taking a vow of silence, even compiling a list of teachers, students and administrators who might oppose their efforts.

"This is an assault on our school system by terrorists," said Rabbi David Eidensohn, director of the National Non-Sectarian Council of Pro-Family Activists.

"The financial damage due to lost school time throughout the country will be enormous. We cannot, however, talk about money alone. The disruption of a school atmosphere, especially towards the end of the year, when discipline in schools is a challenge, could kill a year of learning for many students," Rabbi Eidensohn said.

"Precisely when students should be concentrating on finals, they are told by GLSEN homosexual activists to refuse to speak in class and to disrupt school with activism. Students who should be learning to get along with others are making a 'hit list' of teachers and students who are biblical or who refuse the homosexual agenda," he said.

Rabbi Eidensohn called on religious groups to immediately file for court orders of protection for children of "biblical inclinations" to protect them from "hate groups" who sponsor the Day of Silence.

"We must sue them immediately. We must demand compensation for every nickel of taxpayer money that was lost because of their campaign of agitation against the lawful school system," he concluded. "We must claim damages in lowered earning skills for all students who could not learn because of the homosexual activists and their disturbances."

Let us not forget that is primarily due to these groups like GLSEN and GLAAD and ACT-UP and their willing allies in the newsmedia and Hollywood.

Soon after Rush Limbaugh published his second book, "See, I Told You So," I picked up a copy. I noticed his prediction that once the homosexuals got their way, those within the transgendered community would be right behind them. Pointing this out to others, I told them he was wrong. It would be the pedophiles making the next push for "acceptance." In time, I have been shown how right I am.

Just give me a list of the totalitarians and your new definition so I can carry on the work!

Yes, he will need your assistance in compiling such a list as he is still checking out the elementary schools in his new neighborhood. ;-)

Day of silence hey?

Sounds like a great day to schedule spoken exams

(I was going to say oral exams but I didn't want the SADs to be confused as to my meaning)

God Save America (Please)

I couldn't tell what his point was...

His point was that we shouldn't be allowed to impede homosexual access to our children. It shows that we are hateful, you see.

To my way of thinking, suing them is the wrong idea. It gives the impression it is ok to sue people who disagree with you. What if some Christian groups want to compile a list of homosexual sympathizers so they can try to tell those sympathizers the truth? Wouldn't that fall under the same court ruling? That sword cuts two ways, I'd be slow to use it.

A far better idea, IMO, would be for Exodus International to have made a large number of handouts available explaining the destructiveness of the so-called "gay lifestile" (better called Same-sex Attraction Disorder or SAD) so that Christians could hand pamphlets to everyone who was silent. Since those using silence would be self-identifying, there would be no totalitarianism or "terrorism" involved.

Do not try to overcome evil with evil, but overcome evil with good.

Shalom.

If the pro-homosexual students are silent, does that mean that the pro-Christ students would be punished for singing "Praise the name of Jesus, Praise the name of Jesus, He's my rock, He's my fortress, He's my deliverer, in Him will I trust, Praise the name of Jesus" ??

That would be my suggestion, loudly proclaim the glories of God on the day when those in opposition have sworn themselves to silence.

My point was quite simple.

The use of the words totalitarian and terrorist to apply to this situation is hyperbole. We should be careful around here not to 1984 the language.

I am neither for or against the demo. People have first amendment rights and a right to peacefully assemble. I said earlier the parents and the kids are in control of their behavior. I believe it is ridiculous to sue them for doing a few moments of silence. If they did more, let the school and the parents handle it.

What's your point?

Shake you head vigorously. I love to hear that cute pock-pock-pock sound as your brain bounces around in your cranium like a superball in handball court.

"You can ask kids to observe a day of silence to advance homosexuality, but you can't allow them to observe a mere moment of silence to pray."

Quote of the day.

I agree, ArGee. I believe that Choice 4 Truth's Truth Without Interruption Day counter-event is, as they state, "A Welcome and Measured Response to the "Day of Silence" Project."

"Having a group of political activists shut up for a day does nothing."

Really? How long do you think the activists at the school district level worked to get this event into the school? How long do you think the activists at the county level worked to put this event into the districts? How long do you think the statewide activists worked on the counties? And how long did the national activists work on the states? All to get a bunch of yappy kids to zip their lips for an entire day so they can think about nothing but what it's like to be gay.

The point is, the kids aren't the activists. They're the targets of the activists. And the activists have hit their target square in the bullseye.

Good idea. And every teacher with any backbone should give verbal examinations. Heck don't even count off for wrong answers, but give big fat zeros for no answers...

I live in a very conservative county with a good school system. But I see private school or homeschooling in the future for our two-year-old.
