A  national coalition of pro-family organizations is asking parents to call  their children out of school on the Day of Silence if their school  permits students and\/or teachers to remain silent during class.<\/p>\n<p>Under the guise of anti-bullying, GLSEN&#8217;s goal is to have all  children come to believe that moral disapproval of homosexual acts  constitutes bullying and hatred and to make it socially unacceptable to  express their beliefs that homosexual acts are immoral and dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>GLSEN is using publicly funded schools to promote its agenda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Worried about the children are you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/altar_boy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4413\" title=\"altar_boy\" src=\"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/altar_boy-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/altar_boy-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/altar_boy.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bullying gay kids, whether it&#8217;s done by other kids or by adults, is a form of child sexual abuse, and I can understand completely why that isn&#8217;t regarded as such a big deal in Ratzinger&#8217;s house. \u00a0 Every day is a day of silence for children who&#8217;ve been sexually abused in Ratzinger&#8217;s house&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual, the upcoming Day Of Silence isn&#8217;t getting a warm reception everywhere. \u00a0 Like the California Catholic Daily for instance&#8230; Keep your children home Pro-family groups urge parents to keep kids out of school on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDay of Silence&#8217; (Editor&#8217;s Note: Some schools observe the &ldquo;Day of Silence&rdquo; on dates earlier or later than April [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,65],"tags":[24,21,26,90,12],"class_list":["post-4412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-thumping-my-pulpit","tag-gods-and-monsters","tag-the-abyss","tag-the-bully-mindset","tag-the-human-gutter","tag-the-struggle-for-our-lives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4412\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/brucelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
