‘Gay’ politics in class? Not with my kids!

By: American Decency Staff

A massive campaign to keep tens of thousands students home from school when the “gay”-promoting Day of Silence is held Friday is gearing up again this year.

“Just walk out,” advises Save California, one of many organizations offering parents a way to respond to the politicization of public school classrooms.

The “Day of Silence” is organized for public schools by the private activist group Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. The group purports to call attention to the plight of homosexuals by having students, teachers, school administrators and others remain silent for a day of public school.

However, critics charge the activity disrupts the learning process on that day. Advocates for the traditional view of sexuality oppose it, recommending that students stay home or distribute brochures with the truth about homosexuality during that time.

The “Day of Silence” Walkout website urges parents to contact the principals of their children’s middle or high school and ask this question: “Do you permit students to refuse to speak during class on the Day of Silence?”

If the principal says students will be permitted to refuse to speak in class, the group urges parents to keep their children home that day.
