Homosexuality to be Promoted in Schools April 15, 2011

Good morning, Jim. Just 28 days from now, Georgia schools and colleges will be faced with another day of silence to promote alternate lifestyles to students, teachers and administrators. The day of silence is sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, better known as GLSEN, and advertised on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Observance of the day of silence began in 1996 at the University of Virginia and went nationwide in 1997. The homosexual firm, Lambda Legal, provides Q & A sheets to document student rights NOT to speak and their right to wear pro homosexual buttons or T-shirts and put up pro homosexual posters and exhibits in school.

In 2001 The Sticks and Stones Project was initiated in Georgia to promote homosexuality and stop negative comments about alternate lifestyles. For students, teachers and administrators it was a gag order. Then, in 2002, 15 high schools and 5 colleges in Georgia participated in the day of silence. Five years later, 37 Georgia high schools had gay-straight alliance clubs to promote the day of silence and desensitize students, teachers and administrators to homosexuality and its variations. Since then, GLSEN has been more reluctant to release school participation lists.

For years, GLSEN used anti-bullying policies to promote alternate lifestyles and last year teamed up with the National Association of Elementary School Principals to put “No Name-Calling Week” lesson plans in elementary schools. In February this year, the National Conference on Bullying in Orlando, Florida listed Kevin Jennings as a confirmed speaker. You need to know that Kevin Jennings is Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” and founder of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network that displays and sells pro homosexual material at NEA conferences. At that February conference this year, one of the topics was “Liability 101 – Will You or Your District be Sued Next?”

Last year, I tried to explain to a legislator what’s wrong with allowing observance of the day of silence in schools. Turning to leave, he snapped back, “What are we supposed to do, tell them they can’t be quiet?” He either didn’t get the point or thought it absurd to expect school systems to protect children from such passive aggressive indoctrination.

Please warn your children and school administrators that the day of silence is scheduled for April 15th. Remind them of the Georgia law allowing students only one minute of silence per school day. Then, explain this. Fairness demands that observance of anything, including the day of silence, must be at the beginning of the school day during that same minute and that minute only.
