A broad coalition of pro-family groups recommends that students stay away from school on Friday, April 20, 2012, the national "Day of Silence," if the school is officially recognizing and/or compelling students to observe this event during instructional time by a silent protest. High schools and even some middle schools are now the target of this event.

The Day of Silence is supposedly led by students, but actually led by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which describes itself as "championing LGBT issues in K-12 education since 1990." Did you catch that? "K through 12"? Younger and younger students are the target of this group. The younger the better, because they are easier to manipulate.

The Day of Silence goal is not, as I am told frequently by outraged emails from misinformed students, to help end all bullying. The goal is to exploit the tender sympathies of kids to promote homosexuality and gender confusion. The agenda is everything; Judeo-Christian morality is the enemy; and sadly, kids are the tools.

GLSEN teaches students that homosexuals and gender-confused people are "silenced" and under persecution by those who object to this behavior, and that traditional moral concerns cause bullying. No hard, objective data exist to support this contention, and the event itself causes hostility, confusion and division.

Here are 10 reasons I believe Christian students in particular and possibly even teachers and staff should refuse to honor this event by school attendance:
