Please use this information for your letters to your representatives and school board members in regards to The Day of Silence. A sample letter will follow this information. Scroll down under Tea Party section to January and read specifics about The Day of Silence.
Rights of Citizens:
Our government representatives and school boards owe us equal protection of the Constitution, statutes, and education codes. The methodology and facts used in The Day of Silence are offensive and discriminatory toward people of Judeo-Christian faith and traditional patriots who believe the homosexual lifestyle is contrary to Natural Law and the principles upon which our nation was founded.
In Section 3, the California Constitution states that the people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good. Citizens have inalienable rights and one of them is a right to life. Yet The Day of Silence robs young people of their right to grow up physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.
Studies show that young people who participate in such lifestyles have difficulty the remainder of their lives with mental problems, spiritual turmoil, and physical diseases that are life threatening.The Day of Silence is a day that is dangerous for the education material that is available for all students is not the truth of the facts that surround this lifestyle as to its cause and cure.
The California Constitution, which begins with Article I, a declaration of rights, states, “All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.” California families and students have a right to equal protection of the law when it comes to life and safety.
The methodology, such as The Wheel of Oppression, used to promote victimhood of the homosexuals on The Day of Silence is a grave misuse of the education system. The wheel or chart of oppression categorizes people into six different groups under the heading Oppressor and the six different groups under the heading Oppressed. Christians are catgorized as oppressors; homosexuals as oppressed. Those who do not agree with The Day of Silence are oppressors. This chart is discussed in my new book The Hoax Of The Century: White Privilege And The Wheel of Oppression, at www.diversityreformusa.com.
However, 60 percent of homosexuals are college graduates, while 18 percent of the general population is. Statistical Abstract reports that almost 50 percent of homosexuals hold managerial positions. Certainly not statistics of an oppressed group. Because equal protection is owed to all citizens, people of Judeo-Christian faith and those who are traditional patriots have the right to express personal beliefs without being categorized as oppressors, and falsely accused of being hateful, homophobic, or bullies.
Our First Amendment gives us the right to speak out against homosexual behavior. For diversity to be true to its purpose it must tolerate these opinions. Education codes are in place to protect everyone. Legislation cannot override the protection of students and family given us by the Constitution and our civil rights. To teach and or present subject matter that is against certain religious beliefs and present them as normal is not the job of the government.
The First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.” The exposure of children to instruction, material, and activity that is hostile to faith is coercion. Justice Blackmun’s opinion in Lee v. Weisman, 505 U.S. (1992) states the following:
Even subtle pressure diminishes the right of each individual to choose
voluntarily what to believe…
The language in Lee v. Weisman states the “heightened concerns with protecting freedom of conscience from subtle coercive pressure in the elementary and secondary public schools.” The law is not only violated if a child is forced to believe a concept introduced, but also the law is broken by the presentation that is made in the classroom. The children are held captive and cannot escape this information.
Under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the following is cited from 43 Case W. Res. L. Rev. at 717-721:
Students exposed to concepts hostile to their religious faith experience
coercion, though subtle, to renounce their faith in the same way that
students who are exposed to Bible reading or prayer are “coerced”
to embrace a religious faith.
Children are kept captive in the classroom and coerced into contrary religious and political beliefs. According to Edwards v. Aguillard 482 U.S. 578, 584 (1987) the following is true:
The Court has recognized on numerous occasions that the Public school
creates an inherently coercive atmosphere due to mandatory attendance,
laws, the tender age of most of most students, students emulation of teachers
as role models , and peer pressure in group settings.
Education Code section 220 prohibits discrimination based on sex, ethnic group identification, race, national origin, religion, color, mental or physical disability in any program or activity conducted by an educational institution that receives, or benefits from, state financial assistance or enrolls pupils who receive state student financial aid. Schools across California are receiving financial benefits, but are not adhering to the law. Education code Section 51500 states that education or activities, which reflects adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, heredity, national origin, or ancestry are prohibited.
Tolerance enforced in the classroom on The Day of Silence means that the students are supposed to respect and accept as normal and equal the ideas, values, morals, ethics, and lifestyles of homosexuals, as well as other inappropriate behavior such as transgenders. This is representative of an enforced belief system promoted within the confinement of a classroom, or school, and is discriminatory toward those who hold contrary beliefs.
Furthermore,Title VI, states that schools cannot accept federal money if they teach or support discrimination against certain classifications of people. The Day of Silence discriminates against those of particular religious beliefs and traditional beliefs. We can expose this to citizens, parents, busineeses, and school districts so that they know the Constitutional rights and codes broken in The Day of Silence. We can insist on The Day of Silence being cancelled within the classroom.
We will seek the support of our state and government lawmakers, as well as school board members to make sure that no further abuse of our rights takes place and that our students will have equal protection of the law in the classrooms across California, and our nation. We will expose those who do not support our Civil rights and the education codes that protect our children while attending school. Our representatives and school board members work for us and we insist on them following the Constitution and education codes, which give protection to all.

Attention: Congressmen, Senators, Assemblymen, and School Board Members
On April 16, 2010 The Day of Silence will be in classrooms throughout America. It’s intent; promote homosexuals as being an oppressed group that is bullied by religious and traditional groups that are labeled the oppressors.This is done through education, such as The Wheel of Oppression, which is the base for The Day of Silence. People are categorized against each other; six as oppressors and six as the oppressed. www.diversityreformusa.com.
When we put people into classifications, we rob them of their dignity and individuality, as stated by Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr., in Parents Involved In Community Schools v. Seattle School Dist. No. 1: “The heart of the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection lies the simple command that the Government must treat citizens as individuals, not as simply components of racial, religious, sexual orientation, or national class.”
The Day of Silence presents misleading facts. This damages some students’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Supporters of the day are silent in the classroom, wearing badges explaining their behavior. Exposure of children to instruction, material, and activity that is hostile to faith is coercion. Justice Blackmun’s opinion in Lee v. Weisman, 505 U.S. (1992) states: “ Even subtle pressure diminishes the right of each individual to choose voluntarily what to believe…”
Erroneous material is available before, during, and after this school day. The facts do not back scientific evidence in regards to cause, cure, suicides, harassment, statistics on HIV and AIDS, and the increase in sexual experimentation amongst the young. They do however silence those who disagree with the lifestyle. Parents and children have equal protection under the law: the Civil Rights Act, Federal and State Constitutions (CA Article 1), and education codes (CA 220, 51500 plus more).
We ask school board members, assemblymen, congressmen, and senators to stand courageously for the life of our American youth. We will take note of those who do not protect the children and teens. Laws are in place to protect all people. We are created equal, but not all ideas, values, morals, ethics, religions, lifestyles, or personally held beliefs are equal.
In order for diversity to be true to its purpose it must include people of Judeo-Christian faith, European descent, and traditional patriots, complete with their beliefs. We must encourage actions that are in line with our Federal and State Constitutions, codes, and rights in order to preserve life. We ask that you put a STOP to The Day of Silence and laws that are not appropriate for the healthy survival of our children.
Sincerely,
