Day of Silence?

[SplshMtnLvr28]

DAY OF SILENCE, April 18, 2007: The Day of Silence is an annual event held to commemorate and protest anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools. Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday. In it's 11th year, the Day of Silence is one of the largest student-led actions in the country.

Anyone planning to participate?

I might.

I did last year. I still have scarsfrom where this one girl sqeezed my arm because she was trying to get me to talk, not because she was against gau people, one of our mutal friends is gay, but because she was trying to see if my resolve would hold. It did. I'll probably do it again this year as long as our school remembers to put up flyers, otherwise it's kinda hard to explain to teachers.

I'm not sure what LGBT is.

I have planned on doing this for a while. My parents know about it. Since I don't go to regular school that won't matter anymore. I was going to do it last year but I was so sick that day with the stomach virus or something and I had to tell my mom to take me too the doctors. I felt really bad after that, so I WILL do it this year, sickness or not.

Lesbian Gay Bi Transvestite (or sometimes Transsexual.)

Lesbian Gay Bi Transvestite (or sometimes Transsexual.)

ah, thank you for clarifying, Shelby.

more than likely not because i will probably forget about it.
i'm against the bullying, but my school does not participate in this so i will more than likely forget about it, sadly.

My campus participates in this through our LGBT group United DePauw but as a history major all of my classes are discussion based and I will fail the class for the day if I don't talk so we tend to observe it outside of classes.

I was wondering what LGBT was myself, thanks for clearing it up. I may observe it if I remember to.

I never have participated, mostly because my high school never advertised for it, and I found out about it after the fact. I've wanted to, as alot of my guy friends are gay (I'm involved in theatre and was on colorguard. Sorry to sterotype, but that's where most of my gay friends came from.)

But this year, I probably will. and much like Norah, I will be doing it outside of class because I have mostly seminar-based classes were you need to talk in order to get credit for the day.

That is how my history class was.

 

[Mickey1122]

Our school acknowledges it. Sadly, a lot of the meaning is lost in efforts to make the people talk.

No offense...but you have absolutely no idea what my college history classes are like...especially senior seminar. There is no comparison between any high school and college classes...when was the last time you had to read 300 pages in one night and write apaper on it for one class? And this is not because you procrastinated a few nights worth of reading into one night...This is the original assignment.

Woah...I was meaning are history class is mostly dicussion. We converse a lot in there.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

No......if we had a moment od silence for everything people believed was unjust in this country we would never get any schooling/work done.

 

[SpaceMounatin]

My school did it last year for the first time, and we did it! I have a lot of gay/bi friends, and I support them all.
