Americans for Truth » Hutcherson Leads 500 Out of School on Pro-Homosexual ‘Day of Silence’
Congratulations to Pastor Ken Hutcherson for showing America how to take on the forces that are stealing the education system to indoctrinate children in left-wing and anti-Christian ideologies. Hutcherson led a full one-third of Mt. Si High School students OUT of school Friday to protest the pro-homosexuality “Day of Silence.” Following is the beginning of the Seattle Times story.

A Day of Silence inside Mount Si High School meant to show support for gay and lesbian students erupted in noisy protests outside.
More than one-third of students didn’t show up for classes Friday. Principal Randy Taylor said 495 out of 1,410 students weren’t at school, including 85 athletes whose parents had asked that they be excused for their personal beliefs.
About 100 people joined the Rev. Ken Hutcherson, a prominent anti-gay-rights activist, in prayer and song that questioned the dedication of a school day to what they said was a controversial political cause.

Here’s a bit more from the article:
Some teachers also chose to remain silent, drawing objections from students who said they were there to learn. Otherwise, last year’s event occurred largely without incident.
Administrators directed teachers to teach this year and said that students should respond if called upon in class.
Taylor said Friday’s observances were a lesson in democracy for students.
“They learned they can express themselves and respect other points of view,” he said. The principal also commended teachers at the school who he said were “teaching the curriculum.”
Junior Landon Wilson, wearing an Uncle Sam costume, joined members of the Mount Si Student Conservative Club in handing out red, white and blue ribbons.
He said the group was offering what it considered to be American values as an alternative to an endorsement of the Day of Silence.
Jacqueline Ferland, president of the GSA, called the day a success. “There’s diversity at this school, and there’s now a recognition of that,” she said.
This is what American Democracy has come down to? Idiotic displays of outlandish behavior? I suppose a slight comparison could be made between this and the Boston Tea Party. At least our forefathers weren’t dressing up like Indians for the right to be called Pokeahiney.
