Second Annual Day of Truth Hailed as Celebration of Free Expression
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 10:46 PM by kweerwolf
(More twaddle from the American Family Association)

Christian students are being encouraged to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda in public schools by celebrating the second annual "Day of Truth."

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) established the observance in response to the national "Day of Silence," an event sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to protest discrimination and harassment experienced by homosexuals.

Students will be observing the Day of Truth on Thursday, April 27, by wearing T-shirts and passing out cards expressing an opposing viewpoint on homosexuality. ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb says the event is "an opportunity for students to exercise their First Amendment rights in an appropriate way and get the message out about a Christian view of truth."

Students taking part in the pro-family event will be handing out cards that state: "I am speaking the truth to break the silence. Silence isn't freedom; it's a constraint. Truth tolerates open discussion, because the truth emerges when healthy discourse is allowed. By proclaiming the truth in love, hurts will be halted, hearts will be healed, and lives will be saved."

Personally, I'd be tempted to have some cards printed up that said: "I am wiping my ass with your card, after which I will attempt to shove it down your throat ... just like you do with your perverted 'religion'."

2. a day of ''spreading hate''
is what they really mean.

a day of spreading ''i'm better than you are''.

a day of ''you're different, so i'm going kill you if i can''.
