Day of Silence

Toady is the Day of Silence.

" The Day of Silence is about safer schools, tolerance and positive change. Some organizations misrepresent these facts. Here are 4 Truths about a day that has brought hope to students experiencing anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment." (http://www.dayofsilence.org/)

It is in memory of Lawrence King who was shot and killed in February by a fellow student who had no tolerance for his sexual orientation. Lawrence was only 15.

Please join with me today by having your own personal moment of silence for Lawrence. And for the hope that future disasters such as this won't occur and that people will change and learn to love.

Acceptance is seeing with your heart, not your eyes.
