Day Of Silence Protesters Face Off
On one side were supporters of students inside the school expressing their support of gays and lesbians. On the other side were those protesting the school district for allowing the student-lead observance. Police kept both sides apart and tried to control the crowd with yellow tape. "They want to have the day of silence? Be like other clubs. Do it before or after school, not messing up the classroom," said Rev. Ken Hutcherson of Antioch Bible Church in Redmond. "For anyone to say that the Day of Silence does not interrupt the school, they're dead, blind or just plain prejudice"/Associated Press. More here
Question: Is today's annual Day of Silence for gay and lesbian students worthy enough to put up with some disruption in the classroom. Or should it be limited to demonstrations before and after school?
