"Well you can attribute this to communism, but i think the government would have to approve the demonstration and probably direct it. "

Boy how did I let that one slip by, gues I'm ready for bed...

The "day of silence" in honor of oppressed gays everywhere could not be condoned more openly and enthusiastically as it would in a government run school. Essentially, it is being approved and directed by "the government." Few private enterprises could take such a bold position on something so traditionally immoral.

IF it were done in a communist country it is approved by the government because they are totalitarian. In the US it is freedom that allows this. The government does not direct it and approve it. The point is the government does not have the power to stop it. It's called freedom to peacefully assemble and freedom of speech. As I said earlier, if it disrupts the class let the school deal with it.

It is your attempt that has twisted the meaning of what is going on. Don't kick the mud over here.
