|
| |
I recently spoke with a key legislator about a very important piece of legislation – a proposed amendment to our state constitution that actually deals with the very structure of our government. There aren’t too many legislative proposals that do that.

Day of Dialogue on Thursday, April 19th
|
|
| |
 Focus on the Family’s “Day of Dialogue” is this coming Thursday, April 19th, the day before GLSEN’s “Day of Silence.” The Day of Dialogue encourages open dialogue among students on topics like sexuality, bullying, and gender identity and for Christian students to articulate their biblical perspective in a Christ-centered, loving manner. GLSEN, the leading homosexual activist group in schools, says its “Day of Silence” is intended “to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.” But it also calls for students to “plan a rally at your school, facilitate a workshop for students and teachers about LGBT issues or throw a party with your GSA” (Gay-Straight Alliance). See video of GLSEN’s activities in one school. |
