The people behind this don't want "dialogue", they want to proselytize.<br /><br />Why can't they just acknowledge that LGBTQ kids are being bullied, and that bullying is wrong?

I'd like to see the Religious Right get HALF as worked up over school bullying as it does over anti-bullying measures linked to LGBTQ rights.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-57273660992554500072014-04-12T15:48:32.438-04:002014-04-12T15:48:32.438-04:00Infidel -- It's been like this for years.

I didn't read the instructions to parents on the Day of Silence Walkout page, but I have this image of protesters trying to remain silent during non-class time, only to be confronted by students who are in their face trying to force them into conversation--because they support bullying?!Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-31821586330659684812014-04-11T21:15:27.277-04:002014-04-11T21:15:27.277-04:00Pretty amazing that there is a Day of Silence Walk...Pretty amazing that there is a Day of Silence Walkout. I mean if you participate in this, then you are 100% bigot. There is no way to deny it. <br /><br />Whats interesting is that the religious think the teachers participate. I mean sure if the teacher is not teaching then why go to class, but this is a student action. As such there is no reason to stage a walkout. The only reason is to show you think bullying is OK.
