The Day of Silence – “We’re Coming After Your Children”

In 1992 the chant coming from those in the Washington Gay Pride Parade was, “We’re queer, we’re here, and we’re coming after your children.” It only took four years for that threat to begin manifesting. In 1996 students at the University of Virginia organized the first Day of Silence and now it takes place annually in the public schools of America. It is coming to a school near you on Friday, April 15th.

Students are urged to refuse to speak all day, including during academic classes, which is disruptive to instructional time. Administrators permit students to refuse to speak in class, and teachers feel compelled to create lesson plans to accommodate student-refusal to speak. Teachers feel that if they don’t accommodate student-refusal to speak, they will be seen as supporting the bullying of self-identified homosexual students.

Think not that the Day of Silence is the only promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism occurring in the schools. It was several years after I was set free from homosexuality that I discovered the pushers of sexual perversion had made it into the public schools under the disguise of “diversity”. Imagine how horrified I was in 2000 to see that AT&T had sent pro-homosexual lesson plans to every middle school of America! These lesson plans presented the politically correct view of homosexuality.

As someone who had been in homosexual behavior for almost ten years and was no longer a part of that sinful behavior, my heart went out to the unsuspecting children who were mentally being raped by this effort to normalize a behavior that the three major religions of the world call abominable.

Let’s look at this through Heaven’s eyes. Jesus made it very clear how He felt about harming the children when He said if one harmed one of the little ones who believed in Him, it would be better for them for a millstone to be tied around their neck and thrown in the river.

What must Jesus think about this Day of Silence occurring in the schools? What must He think about Christian parents who send their children to school on that day? What must He think about Christian school teachers who attend school on that day?

Each year there is a counter event occurring on The Day of Silence called Day of Silence Walkout. Visit www.doswalkout.net for instructions on how to refuse to be a part of the pro-homosexual-transgender day on April 15th.

Each week from now until April 15, I will address The Day of Silence and the pro-homosexual/transgender indoctrination going on in the schools that you and I are funding with our tax dollars and what you can do to save the children.
