Parents Say Middle-School Kids Pressured to Abide by LGBT Organization’s ‘Day of Silence’
LGBT youth organization’s “day of silence,” arguing that students are pressured and even bullied into remaining silent throughout an entire day
Parents of public-middle-school students in New York are raising concerns over a national LGBT youth organization’s “day of silence,” arguing that students are pressured and even bullied into remaining silent throughout an entire school day in the name of supporting a progressive agenda that may violate their religious convictions.
Created by the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the annual event, which falls on April 14 this year, asks students to sign off on a pledge to stay quiet all day to call attention to the way in which gay kids are allegedly silenced in modern American society.
