[By Allie Martin - OneNewsNow]A coalition of pro-family groups is calling on parents to keep their children home from school one day next month if their school observes a homosexual-sponsored initiative.
On April 25, more than 4,000 schools nationwide will observe the "Day of Silence," an initiative sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an activist homosexual group. The event encourages students to remain quiet throughout the day in order to bring attention to the homosexual lifestyle.
The American Family Association (AFA), along with other family-oriented groups, is urging parents to keep their kids home from school that day -- if the school observes the project. Buddy Smith with the AFA says concerned parents can go online and see if their child's school is observing the Day of Silence. "The first step would be to go to AFA.net, click on the Day of Silence action alert ... [to] see if your child's school is indeed listed," he explains. "And if they are, then we have a suggested letter that you can send to the school ... requesting that they stop this nonsense." If that does not work, Smith says parents should consider keeping their children home from school April 25, or whichever day the Day of Silence is observed.
