So in April, the 25th to be exact, there's going to be some sort of "day of silence" for public schools in an attempt to reflect on and promote the idea of homosexuality. Isn't that lovely? For a federal level institute to promote a chosen lifestyle like this, while slamming and bashing and legislating against other? (Okay, so it's really only Christianity that they're against.) It's to help raise the awareness that homosexuals are the subject of much harassment and hate and all those wonderful buzz words of the century.

How about I organize a day of silence for all our brothers and sisters in Christ who, in other countries, actually know the true definition of harassment and hate? Would I be allowed to do that in a public school? A self-maintained day of silence that will "disrupt class while promoting the Christian lifestyle"? How about even just us Christians in the United States who can't say prayers during our own graduation without getting blasted by the American Communist Lawyers Civil Liberties Union? For the past several years? (Link, link, link... Please note the years.) Civil liberties? Someone's civil liberties were trashed in an effort to please someone else who has a whine-fest over the fact that someone DARE want to say a prayer at their OWN graduation ceremony. I mean, seriously! What audacity! What nerve! This should be reported at once before others see this display of Constitutional liberty!

The public school system is a federal level system. Let's quote the Bill of Rights, shall we? That little meaningless piece of paper (oops, sorry, I had my Liberal Goggles on... Let me take those off lest I cloud the definition of these documents... Okay, there!)... That piece of paper so important that a few states didn't initially ratify the Constitution because it lacked the description of these basic rights. Here is the first and arguably most important Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Bold text is mine. See it? Right up there? Congress can't establish a religion (meaning it can't say "okay, this is the national religion, so everyone worship or die". A very important clause, seeing as how most people came to the colonies to escape religious oppression) AND it cannot stop people from FREELY exercising their own religions ANYWHERE. We're supposed to be able to go to school and be guaranteed that we can pray at our graduation! The government is supposed to be the one who says "hey, come here, come on in to the court house. You can pray here. Our Constitution guarantees it!" The government (outside of your church) is supposed to be the single most solid supporter of your religious rights, period, without exception, but nope... the Bible and prayers are banned in schools while everything else seems to be allowed, and, somehow, hundreds of thousands of people can't see the blatant hypocrisy here. Instead, a tiny minority of people have been outspoken for long enough for the government to cave in and take the side of someone's lifestyle, while, at the same time, BANNING everyone else's. (Well, not everyone else's... Just Christianity's lifestyle.)

Being a Christian aside, how is this not the very definition of unconstitutional and unamerican? In response, family-related associations are urging parents to pull their kids out of school on this day and to send a letter that explains why they did. If homosexuals are allowed to show their support of such a lifestyle, surely everyone else is allowed to show their opposition to such a lifestyle? (You'd think that, at least.) It's not like there's going to be much academic learning going on anyway, with all the attention on homosexuals for the day.

(I look forward to a special appearance in the comments thread by Mister Anonymous!)
