The material on that site is horrendous. (dayofsilencewalkout.org)

"Parents should no longer passively countenance the political usurpation of public school classrooms through student silence."
Actually, parents should no longer be bigoted, hypocritical fucks. If they care so much about the disrupted learning of their kids why would they bad together to pull them out of school? Of course the ultimate goal is to get schools to ban the Day of Silence, but 1st of all, you cannot stop people from refusing to speak, and secondly, the so-called "disruption" is SILENCE (you know... the kind that doesnt make any sound?) and is not forwarding any particular political agenda., but is instead embracing your constitution's "liberty and justice for all."
"Furthermore, DOS participants have a captive audience, many of whom disagree with and are made uncomfortable by the politicization of their classroom."
Yes... that is the point -- minus making them uncomfortable... but then again, being put in uncomfortable positions is one of the greatest opportunities to learn and grow, and isn't that what school is supposed to be all about? (Well... Mount Si was about being a totalitarian regime more than anything... so maybe you're right...if we can't deny the rights of others, we better protest and skip school!)

"Public School Teachers: Plan activities for this day that involve student speech. Schedule speeches or oral exams; ask questions; or plan discussion-based activities that require participation from all students."
Yes, just because we can, lets purposfully deny students the right and ability to stand up (be silent) for a cause they care about ---not because it is disruptive to what was actually scheduled for the progression of class, but because it is disruptive to our manipulation of the curriculum.

"There are countless worthwhile goals that should not be promoted during class. Some might consider ending the tragedy of teen drunk-driving deaths, or the war in Iraq, or abortion to be worthwhile goals, and yet it would be equally inappropriate to use the classroom to promote them."
As I recall, I have attended many anti-drinking assemblies, that have taken us from classtime (and this classroom learning you hold so precious). We have done many moments of silence to acknowledge the people who have died in the war. Not to mention, I am sure if there was a day of silence for the troops, you would have no problem with it. AND if there was a day of silence for abortion rights, I say, let them at it! It would be the same deal. But of course, you would oppose it because THAT would be forwarding an agenda, and I can imagine that a day for the troops would be a "patriotic duty."

Oh, and this one is my favorite::
"Groups like GLSEN believe that statements of moral conviction with which they disagree constitute prejudice or discrimination. While relentlessly promoting this view, administrators are never asked to provide evidence for the dubious presuppositions on which claims of discrimination are based.They are never asked to provide evidence for the arguable claim that homosexuality is equivalent to race; or that disapproval of homosexual conduct is equivalent to racism; or that homosexual impulses are biologically determined; or that the presence of biological influences in shaping desire renders a behavior automatically moral."
(that last part of the sentence there...read that again.)

uhhhh...
Hello!! Idiot who wrote this: YOU AMAZE ME!
You know why?!! Because you succeeded in not only completely contradicting yourself, but you simultaneously helped revert this country back to a state of inequality and bigotry that we have been trying to transcend for 200 years.

But wait, lemme get this straight:: even if you believed that homosexuality was biologically endowed, it is STILL immoral?! Why do we just purify this earth then? Take out everyone who is different (even if they can't help it, even if they are proud of it and embrace it, even if they are more spiritually sound then you). Ok, Hitler? Let's do it! That would be the moral thing to do!

"If we allow schools to define discrimination so expansively as to prohibit all statements of moral conviction, character development is compromised and speech rights are trampled."
And they aren't by what you are trying to pull? How do you think someone's character is going to develop if they can't even fully express who they are because they are afraid of getting shunned, or killed because of it? That's gonna foster lovely future generations, donchathink? And "moral conviction." Your "moral conviction" has killed people --thousands of people! So, I say fuck your morals, fuck your god, and fuck you too.
