National Day of Silence

Today is the National Day of Silence. It is a day set aside by students to use their voice (or their lack of voices) as a statement against anti-gay name calling, bullying and harrasment. It was this harassment that caused Carl Walker-Hoover to take his own life last week at only 11 years old. It's this harassment that causes many LGBT youth run away from home or to drop out of school. No one wants to be in an environment where they feel unwanted and threatened. Hopefully schools will take a listen. Hopefully parents will take a listen.
