[in the Arena]

Oppose whatever you like. It's a free country. Pass it on and you can quote me. I hate it when people force somebosy's kids to do this stuff. Weak kids and negligent parents. The conspirators can work their wiles on them.

What are you talking about ? Are you in favor of the day of silence ?

I'm in favor of parents saying what their kid will do and not do. I'm in favor of the first amendment. I'm in favor of idiots not throwing around wards like totalitarian and terrorist because they don't agree with something. I'm in favor of you and Glad or whoever it is fighting off to the side. I don't give a damn if they have a MONTH of silence. The school can fail them for not participating and their parents can sort it out. I pick my battles more selectively. Tell your kid to sing through the demonstration and move on.
