OPINION: Will Congress Endorse GLSEN's Day of Silence?
What logic?
(1) supports the goals and ideals of the National Day of Silence;
(2) requests that the President issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the National Day of Silence with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities; and
(3) encourages each State, city, and local education authority to adopt laws and policies to prohibit name-calling, bullying, harassment, and discrimination against students, teachers, and other school staff regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, so that the Nation's schools are institutions where all individuals are able to focus on learning.
Let's see if I can follow your logic here.
The Day of Silence was created so people wouldn't be bullied on the basis of sexual orientation.
Congress wants to pass recognition of Day of Silence, because they don't want people bullied on the basis of sexual orientation.
You're against Congress passing this.
So, in other words, you think that people -should- be bullied on the basis of sexual orientation.
And you wonder why you're considered a hate group!
