LGBT people shouldn't be embarrassed about their LGBT status and NEED a "shred of dignity." Your argument implies they aren't capable of dignity without the attention of others.

LGBT groups help give them a shred of dignity. Is one day of silence too much to ask?

That's what people do! Mrs. Gibson sent letters to homes about donations for African schools, not SOAR. And they were letters paid for privately and mailed, not sent home with students. Are you just going to throw out every infraction you can think of and call it proof? Line up the argument and start from scratch. LGBT agendas don't belong in high schools, no matter how they are cloaked. Of course I pick and choose. That’s what people do!

You brought up the religion point and Jay just proved that there's plenty of it in our schools. In fact, even more than the gay day. I wrote a blog about SOAR a while back and how Mrs. Gibson sent out letters to kids houses. And how they are a group that is not school-sponsored but has a faculty adviser (unpaid). The DOS group does not receive funding for their group as I understand it and the faculty adviser is not paid for their advising as with a number of school groups. It's time for your fairly conservative values to line up. Are you against special interest groups in our schools or are you for them? Or will you pick and choose based on your fairly hypocritical stance on this issue? I know that wasn’t directed at me, but of course it’s flippant Cindy.

Or do you consider that question flippant. So, if both sides are offended, every thing is ok, right?

Don't worry Dan, Cindy, & El gato, the big man upstairs has found his way into our schools...but don't bother writing about how that could potentially be considered a violation of the separation of church and state. In addition, a few years back under Dr Joe there was a worship service known as "The Egg Project" advertised on the school announcements, in addition to the distribution of eggs that contained quotations from the bible at all points of entry. In my opinion that's a tad more invasive than a few silent kids who gather after a day of school to simply converse. Wouldn't you have to agree?
