=== 1. View videos of disruption, intimidation, and staged "fall" by ACLU Board Member during pro-marriage rally in December. Larry Cirignano facing phony assault & battery, civil rights charges. (This could happen to you!) ===
As we reported in our last email, on Tuesday, April 11, Catholic activist Larry Cirignano was arraigned in a Worcester courthouse on charges of assault and battery, and civil rights violations. A hearing will be on May 1. Not only could Larry be convicted of these, but they are also exploring whether to also charge him with a hate crime.
This stems from a pro-marriage rally last December in front of Worcester City Hall that Larry helped organize and run. The homosexual community decided that free speech is only a one-way street, and their activists came from across the state to disrupt the rally in any way they could, including harrassment, intimidation, screaming, jeering, various invectives, and more. It included a "fall" to the ground by one of them -- an ACLU board member -- that resulted in the unbelievably outrageous situation of Larry being charged with at least two crimes, and possibly an additional "hate crime" charge.
We promised you the videos from that day -- including videos taken right at that incident. Here they are.

This is an unbelievable outrage. If it can happen to Larry Cirignano, it can happen to anyone. It's about silencing free speech and stifling opposition to a political and social agenda that will never be able to stand on its own merits. This MUST NOT happen in America!

=== 2. Day of Defiance set for Wednesday -- to confront pro-homosexual "Day of Silence" propaganda in Massachusetts schools. ===
The Day of Defiance (www.DayofDefiance.org), is an effort led by young high school students. It's meant to be both a direct confrontation to the propaganda of the homosexual Day of Silence in high schools, and also an education effort for other students. So far it's looking pretty good; LOTS of parents, students, and regular citizens have signed up to be involved that day at the various schools. However, there's still room for people to help out; email [e-mail] to find out what you can do at a particular school. The events will be starting at 11 AM and wrapping up at about 3 PM. We'll see what happens on Wednesday!
Besides the Day of Defiance website, here's our report on the event:
http://www.massresistance.org/Latest_news.html#dod
This year, the Day of Defiance is set for five high schools -- four on Wednesday (Newton North, Newton South, Brookline, and Lexington) and Chelmsford on Friday.
And by the way . . . How horrific is the Day of Silence? Here's our report, and other links, from last year:

=== 4. Hard-hitting letter to school officials from a mother regarding Day of Silence in her child's school. ===
The following letter was written last week by a mother whose child attends a high school in northeastern Massachusetts that has been holding the Day of Silence for several years. She and many others in the town have had enough. She composed this letter with the intent of getting signatures, and then delivering a copy of it to every school official in the town. It's a relatively long letter, but we were so impressed that we're presenting it here. THIS IS what parents across America ought to be doing (in addition to participating in their own Day of Defiance)! Too many people are afraid of telling the truth; this letter is a breath of fresh air!
We are writing about the Day of Silence (DOS), an event which is scheduled for April 25 at xxxx High School. According to the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) website for DOS (http://www.dayofsilence.org/), "Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday."

The DOS is an extremely controversial event, and although GLSEN repeatedly claims that the event is student-driven, it is evident from the extent of materials and the sophistication of the resources available on their website that it is GLSEN who is the mastermind behind this event, and not the students themselves. It is no secret that GLSEN's goal is to systematically desensitize students to homosexuality.

The DOS drives divisiveness into the school by forcing students, parents, and teachers to take sides on an issue that is not relevant to the goals of taxpayer-funded public education. It uses a neutral setting to politicize a highly controversial issue. An environment of intolerance is created when those who hold differing viewpoints on homosexuality or whose religious beliefs do not condone homosexuality are "silenced" and made to feel that they are being mean-spirited or bigoted. We know of teachers and staff who are uncomfortable with the DOS, but feel that there is no "safe" way to voice their concerns and convictions. This is not a healthy situation.

Most egregious, is the fact that students are not being told the truth about homosexuality. GLSEN is preying upon the vulnerability of young people - their innocence, empathy and compassion - to aggressively promote its own agenda. In an unethical and manipulative way, students are being led to believe that homosexuality is normal, that homosexuals have been victimized, and that they need to be defended. When students choose to participate in the DOS, they don't even begin to understand the magnitude of what it is they are stepping up to defend.

The sexual practices of homosexuals involve serious health risks and illnesses. Specifically, sodomy is associated with significant and life-threatening health problems. While unhealthy sexual behaviors occur among both heterosexuals and homosexuals, the medical and social science evidence confirm that homosexual behavior is uniformly unhealthy, and that many diseases and injuries specific to homosex are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population. Men having sex with men leads to greater health risks than men having sex with women, not only because of rampant levels of promiscuity, but also because of the nature of sex among men.

Those students who are struggling with same-sex attractions, but who do not embrace homosexuality, are often led to believe that homosexuality is inborn, a condition that cannot be changed. This can lead to a situation of despair, and fails to take into the account the fact that many have overcome same-sex attractions, as ex-gays will readily attest.

GLSEN has no intention of revealing to students the truth about homosexual behavior. Nowhere on their website or in their literature is there information about how to overcome same-sex attraction or about the risks and dangers of the homosexual lifestyle. The voice of science and the ex-gay perspective have been "silenced."

Nowhere does GLSEN give voice to testimonials from those who now suffer with AIDS, cancer, and other diseases which have resulted from homosexual behaviors. And of course, nowhere does GLSEN talk about those who have been "silenced" by premature death, an inevitable outcome for many homosexuals. When the school administration, its faculty and staff, go along with GLSEN's agenda, they become players in a game of master deception and coercion. This is unacceptable, and borders on the criminal.

When young people are led to believe that homosexuality is just an alternate lifestyle, they are more prone to experiment with it. Is the school administration ready to take on the liability of enticing students to experiment with behaviors that could cost them their health and well being?
We find it difficult to believe that any adult who cares about young people would be willing to be an accomplice in the DOS or in the promotion of homosexual behaviors.

It is obvious that a political agenda is being allowed to trump scientific fact and the well-being of our children. The school enables this to happen when it allows GLSEN to push its agenda via the DOS, when it includes books promoting the homosexual lifestyle in its library, and fails to provide students with information they need in order to make an informed decision. This is nothing more than indoctrination.

The DOS is an obstruction to the educational process. Our children are in school to receive an academic education. When even one student refuses to speak or interact verbally in class, the goals of classroom instruction are impaired. The situation is exacerbated when faculty and/or staff also participate in the DOS. How can a teacher possibly teach when s/he refuses to speak?

When the school agrees to have a day of silence for one group of people, there is no reason that other groups shouldn't be accommodated, as well. There are many types of people who could demand to be recognized - e.g., those who are mentally and/or physically handicapped, those who are persecuted for their religious beliefs, skin color, ancestry, etc. The time taken to do multiple "Days of Silence" calls into question the goal of public education and the activities which occur during the regular school day.

For the sake of the educational process, the safety and well being of our students, and for the faculty, staff and students who feel pressured to remain silent about their opposition to the homosexual agenda, we are asking the school administration, the superintendent, and the school committee to not allow the DOS at XHS. We are asking that the school maintain an environment which is conducive to academic learning, and free from coercion and political agendas.

We will be following up with you regarding the issues outlined in this letter, and next steps.

Sincerely,
