Student resolution objects to 'gay' promotion: 'Day of Silence' described as 'propaganda and intimidation tactic'
From World Net Daily:
Students at a community college in California have adopted a resolution condemning the pro-homosexual "Day of Silence" event held in public schools as a "propaganda and intimidation tactic which seeks to suppress dissent, such as has happened in fascist regimes and in the former Soviet Union."
The resolution was adopted by an 11-5 vote of the student council of the 42,000-student American River College.
"The passage of this resolution marks new progress for community colleges," said resolution supporter Vladimir Musorivschi. "The 'Day of Silence' project has been used as an opportunity to suspend Christian students at local schools for wearing Bible verses on their shirts. The 'Day of Silence' is truly about silencing the voices of Christian students and we will oppose this censorship."
Rep. George Popko said, "We are concerned about the 'Day of Silence' being used as a propaganda and intimidation tactic which seeks to suppress dissent, such as has happened in fascist regimes and in the former Soviet Union, from which some members of the Student council escaped. We do not want to see our state and national governments allow tactics like the 'Day of Silence' in public schools, colleges, and universities to silence Christians."
