So I found out that April 25 is the "Day of Silence" at school. The day of silence is a day where you, at your own will, can be silent the whole day to support those whose suffer in silence and are afraid to speak up. The majority it targets is gays, lesbians, transgender, ect. but it also apply's to racial status, soical problems, relgion, ect. Kids get beat up and killed everyday for there racial status, sexual preference, choice of religion, and even just because they are concidered "uncool" or "nerdy." The world today has become so shallow and afraid of something new/different that we turn to violence. More and more kids each day suffer in silence because they are afraid to speak up. With me being a christian and all im supposed to say its wrong. The bible clearly states its wrong, but I wont say it is. I refuse to. What right and authority do I have to judge you? None. The bible also states its wrong to judge others. If you want to be gay or whatever you are I dont care. Its none of my business what you are or how you live your life, but that doesnt mean I have to tell you its wrong or hate you for it. I wont do that. I dont agree with disrimination. Even god loves everyone. Thats my opinion and choice. If I want to support them, just to let them know its ok to speak up then I will and there's no one who can stop me. They sent an email out to all the schools faculty and staff and they called all the parents telling them to keep their kids at home. They want us to boycott day of silence. I think they are misinformed. I dont think they really know what it is or what its about. I dont agree with their choices and how they are handling the situation. Day of Silence is so much more than they relize and it could potentually make a difference in someone's life. Now to me thats important.
