OPINION: Will Congress Endorse GLSEN's Day of Silence?
Here's why it's needed
Advisor to the Conservative group NARTH, Dr Joseph Berger:
"I suggest, indeed, letting children who wish go to school in clothes of the opposite sex — but not counseling other children to not tease them or hurt their feelings.
On the contrary, don’t interfere, and let the other children ridicule the child who has lost that clear boundary between play-acting at home and the reality needs of the outside world. Maybe, in this way, the child will re-establish that necessary boundary."
It's because some conservative people believe that bullying in a Good Cause is not just acceptable, but praiseworthy.
I'm a conservative. But these people do not speak for me, I know they exist though, even if you do not. There is a genuine need here, it's not some "Liberal fantasy". People like Dr Berger are no record as supporting bullying. This must cease.
