What’s worse than a child that doesn’t speak in a classroom? A child that doesn’t speak in a public classroom because he is advancing a homosexual agenda, apparently.
Seems that today is the Day of Silence, a protest effort begun by UVA students in 1996 and taken on by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) as a national educational tool, is raising the ire of a few folks. The Orlando Sentinel has an article about a few schools in Florida in which students that skip school today for the purpose of protesting the Day of Silence will not be given excused absences. This has pissed off a few nonprofit educational organizations like the Liberty Counsel, which posted a press release on its website urging students to counter-protest by "wear[ing] white and to distribute flyers promoting sexual purity." Nothing says tolerance like pitting "purity" against sexual preference, right? Well, wahoowa, jackasses.
