The following came in an Apr. 7 email from SaveCalifornia.com.
The annual Day of Silence, sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, takes place in most public schools every April. The next will be on or around Friday, April 11.
On this day, students participating in the Day of Silence will wear pro-homosexuality T-shirts, buttons, and stickers, refuse to answer teachers’ questions in classrooms, make it difficult for other students to concentrate, and generally take over school campuses for the entire day.
Thousands of government high schools and increasing numbers of junior high and middle schools are allowing this propaganda throughout an entire day – even during instructional time. The purpose of the silent civil disobedience is to promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality to other students throughout the entire day.
Don’t let the homosexual-bisexual-transsexualists indoctrinate your child or any other children.
Join the WALK OUT by keeping your elementary, junior high and high school children home on the day the school is permitting students to silently protest.

Why WALK OUT of the LGBT Day of Silence
1. Prevent “Day of Silence” in your community: Threatening to walk out will discourage some school administrators from allowing students to remain silent in class. They don’t want to lose money (they’ll lose nearly $100 in Average Daily Attendance funds each day your child is not at school).
2. Protect your children from homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination: If the government-run high school or junior high school in your community is permitting students to remain silent during class on April 20 or any other day, join the parent boycott to at least protect your own children from being sexually brainwashed. Too many parents have been shocked by their public-school children coming home believing that opposition to homosexual “marriages” or cross-dressing is “bigoted” and “discriminatory.”
3. Punish the government schools for sexually indoctrinating children: More than anything, public schools care about money. Encouraging as many parents as possible to keep their children home in protest on whatever day silence is permitted will hit the education establishment where it hurts. They need this pain to teach them to stop sexually brainwashing children.
4. Give parents an opportunity to experience homeschooling for a day: The truth is, every California government school must now follow the law that indirectly requires them to positively promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality. See the existing school indoctrination laws. This is why SaveCalifornia.com strongly urges parents to home-school or church-school their children. Participating in the one-day “Day of Silence WALK OUT” will let you experience the joys and freedoms of homeschooling for at least a day. We encourage you to make it a goal to give your child the best character training possible through alternative education. Please visit our special website RescueYourChild.com.
OPTIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARENTS:
1. Consider calling your local public school administrators.
First, a caution. It’s probably not worth calling your school to find out if Day of Silence is happening. School administrators have been notoriously deceptive in their answers about this. They will deny supporting or sponsoring Day of Silence, yet will allow students to remain silent nonetheless. Just know that keeping your child home will appropriately punish the anti-family public schools that permit Day of Silence by denying them nearly $100 in Average Daily Attendance funds.
But if you do call them, ask whether they permit students or teachers to remain silent in the classroom on Day of Silence. IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask any administrator, school board member or teacher if the school sponsors, endorses, or supports the activities. Schools do not technically sponsor the Day of Silence. Technically, it is students, often students in the gay-straight alliance group, who sponsor it. Many administrators will tell you that they do not sponsor the day when, in fact, they DO permit students and sometimes even teachers to remain silent during instructional time. Also ask administrators whether they permit teachers to create lesson plans to accommodate student silence. If they do, this is supportive of the disruptive, pro-homosexuality Day of Silence.
2. Email your children’s teachers.
If you contact you child’s teacher, ask whether they will be permitting students to remain silent in class on the day and whether they will be creating lesson plans to accommodate student silence. Sometimes there is a disconnect between what administrators or school board members believe is taking place in classrooms and what actually takes place.
3. Check the Day of Silence date.
Be sure to find out what date the event is planned for your school. (The national date in 2014 is April 11, but some schools observe the day on a different date).
4. Notify your school.
Inform the school of your intention to keep your children home on that date and explain why. (A sample letter is available below.)
OPTIONAL SAMPLE LETTER FOR YOUR SCHOOL
If you confirm that the school or teachers will allow students to stay silent (whether or not they call it Day of Silence, copy and paste this sample letter into your word processing program and customize. We suggest first copying into Notepad, then copying from Notepad into Word or a similar program.

Dear _______________,
Due to the administration’s decision to allow the politicization of the learning environment through the Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the highly partisan Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, we feel compelled to call our child/children out of school on that day.
The administration errs when it allows the classroom to be disrupted and politicized by granting students permission to remain silent throughout an entire day. The protesters have a captive audience, many of whom disagree with and are made uncomfortable by the politicization of their classroom. How many political protests will the school allow, and who decides which political issue will be permitted to disrupt the educational process?
Day of Silence participants have a First Amendment right to wear t-shirts, and if other extracurricular clubs put up posters and set up tables from which to distribute materials, “gay-straight alliances” have that right also. The Day of Silence participants go further, however, by exploiting the instructional time of every student in every class for an entire day in the service of their philosophical beliefs and partisan political purposes. Their silence, and in some cases, the silence of their teachers, transform the activities of the day.
By allowing students to remain silent, administrations fail to protect the classroom from intrusive, political exploitation. My child/children will not be part of this political appropriation of the classroom.
Sincerely,
(Your name and signature)

Charlotte diocese backs nun who gave school talk promoting Church teaching on homosexuality
The bishop of Charlotte is backing a Dominican nun who has been at the center of a fiery controversy since last month when she gave a speech promoting Catholic teaching on sexuality to students at Charlotte Catholic High School.
After a public meeting with diocesan and school officials turned ugly, with parents and students alike shouting at administrators over what they perceived as “hateful” remarks criticizing homosexual behavior, divorce and extra-marital sex, a spokesman for the diocese told LifeSiteNews that the nun in question, Sr. Jane Dominic Laurel, did nothing wrong and will be welcome to speak on the issue again if she chooses.
“Nothing in Sister’s talk opposed Church teaching,” Diocese of Charlotte Communications Director David Hains told LifeSiteNews in an email. “Sister would be welcomed to speak in the diocese in the future.”

You can listen to Mr. Hains say exactly that at: churchmilitanttv.com/mic’dup!
Most of them probably learned how to shoot, crawl, and shoot from the government.
The question is “will our troops take a page from the Phillipino troops who when ordered to shoot a bunch of ladies praying their Holy Rosaries in front of them turned their guns on those who gave such an illegal order!

My computer seems to be carrying over comments I made on other Sites. Sorry about that.

I watched this video, Mister Fisher. The host of that program was using a computer made by a company whose CEO you might want to look into, and whose corporate policies you might want to look into. In fact, every one of us using a computer might want to look into the policies of the manufacturer of the computer, the operating system, the internet service provider we use. Who leads them? Do they employ homosexuals or abortionists? Do any of their employees contribute money to causes that promote the breakdown of the family and the Church?
Are we participating in evil by even logging on to Cal Catholic Daily because, it seems, we cannot remove ourselves from the remote occasion of sin by doing so? Perhaps Cal Catholic Daily should disclose where their site is hosted. I’ll bet they are in bed with sin! It is possible that even a donation to Cal Catholic Daily is transmitted to them via web companies and mechanisms crawling in sin!
As catholics, we are commanded to avoid even the remote occasions of sin!
I would like to know how many California Catholic Schools will be participating in this indoctrination stunt on April 11th?
Tracy there are that do in San Diego. Praise God my kids are not in those types of public schools. We partial home school and attend classes with no controversial crap several days a week with PE activities on Wed and Fridays. So hooray. In the past when my kids were younger in a different school system, we just pulled them out of school on such day.
Interesting. Catholic teaching is now “Hate Speech”. Perhaps if the pastors of every parish used their homilies to reinforce the teachings of the Church on a regular basis, people would understand them better and teach their children not to tolerate the garbage they get fed in so-called “Catholic Education”. It’s more than strange that things like this are controversial. Where are the bishops ? Why don’t they LEAD ???
Ted. Yes, they first have to label it “Hate Speech” before they can criminalize it.
Tracy, just so you know, even hate speech is not criminal in the US. Thought you might like to know, since you seem confused about it.
“since you seem confused”?
Heads up everyone. Anonymous wants you to ignore the effective tactic being played out in our society by Leftist Radicals in hopes of one day achieving their goal of depriving us of our religious freedoms in this country.
Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals.
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Ted,
That was going to be my next question: How many so called Catholic Schools are taking part in this insult to God?
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika!
Viva Cristo Rey!

Yes, I believe that is what they are trying to say. I will be participating in this protest tomorrow and, to my knowledge, I am the only student in my public school perticapating. I will be wearing a shirt that says “the best things in life are chocolate.” So unless enjoying candy is now somehow “gay propaganda’ then I will not be indoctrinating your kids . Also the point of DOS is to stop the BULLYING of LGBT youth, not promote homosexual behavior. I have gotten approval from my teachers to do this protest, and if called on to answer a question, I will write the answer on a whiteboard, if I am then asked to answer verbally, I will. My point is to stop the bullying and violence against LGBTs not to hinder another student’s right to learn.
Who is bullying who? I’m afraid it is not the gays who are being bullied anymore. It’s anyone who dares to protest the redefinition of marriage and the radical gay agenda. There should be a Day of Silence for those who oppose the radicalization of the family and society by the homosexual activists. This ploy is nothing more than indoctrination of abnormal sexual preferences…
No one should be bullied.
You’re missing the entire point of the Day of Silence. Having been through several at the HS where I teach, it is not subversive, coercive or disruptive. It quietly (!) promotes respect for all human beings. I dare say Jesus would have supported it. What happened to “love thy neighbor?”
I disagree. The Day of Silence is nothing more than an indoctrination of gender identity disorders. Of course, whether someone has this disorder or any other disorder, we must respect every person because they are make in the image of God. But never the behavior..
Promotiong the sin of the act of homosexuality is wrong. And that is the gay lobby’s agenda. To normalize these different sexual preferences to make them the norm so that our children will embrace this…
Peter, does it promote respect for unborn babies in the womb as well?
Oh great. Now we get to read the f-word.
Yesterday, it was the a-word.
Please clean it up, people.
