Our Schools Here In Chicago And Elsewhere At Work ?

I guess the story below will explain how it works here 9 miles north of my suburban Illinois location and nationwide as well (unknown to me until this morning by the way) that a day like this even exists for anyone to protest to begin with.

Apparently it's OK to force a "Day of Awareness/Silence" upon all non-gay public school students annually on April 19th to stop the alleged "widespread harassment" of that whopping 2 or 3 percent of students who think they're gay, meanwhile a non-gay student representing the other 97 or so percent who are not gay cannot even wear a t-shirt to school like the one below protesting this mandated "day of atonement":

School bans T-shirt: 'Be happy, not gay':

WorldNetDaily: "An Illinois high school student is in federal court seeking the right to wear T-shirts that declare sentiments such as 'Be happy, not gay.'

Heidi Zamecnik, of the Chicago suburb Naperville, wants to wear the shirt at school the day after the 'Day of Silence,' a nationwide observance April 19 to protest harassment of homosexuals in schools, the Chicago Sun-Times reported."read more

The Day of Silence? I do remember other more important events to me at least on April 19th requiring remembrance like the Oklahoma City Bombing like in '95, which was also the day that my maternal grandfather died.

Then there's the 1993 Wacky Waaco attack by the Clinton administration's Janet "Rambo" Reno on David Koresh and his crew, that the bombing was supposedly an answer to, but this "Homosexual Awareness Day" in our public schools? When did they slip that one by us?

Meanwhile it would take the rest of this endless webblog to list all the other things one couldn't or cannot do or say in public schools today but yet we honor homosexuality in them every April?

Unbelievable .
