It is important for all of us to understand exactly what is sinful about
homosexuality. Here is a link to a terrific article on the church's newsroom
web site. I encourage all of you who have questions to read this very
insightful discussion with Elder Oaks and Elder Wickman.

AFA ActionAlertThis is an interesting event that is coming up at many high
schools across the country, including the one that my seminary class
attends.
This could make for some interesting discussions about how our kids should
handle something like this and about evil being made to seem good.

If your child's school observes the homosexual sponsored "Day of
Silence," keep your child at home April 25.
Dear Anne,
Friday, April 25, several thousand schools across the nation
will be observing "Day of Silence (DOS)." DOS is a nationwide push to
promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools.
AFA is joining other family-oriented groups in urging parents to
keep their children at home that day if their local school is participating
in the DOS project. By remaining silent, the intent of the pro-homosexual
students is to disrupt the classes while promoting the homosexual lifestyle.
DOS is sponsored by an activist homosexual group, the Gay,
Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). DOS leads the students to
believe that every person who identifies as a homosexual, bisexual or
cross-dresser is a victim of ongoing, unrelenting harassment and hate.
Students are taught that homosexuality is a worthy lifestyle, homosexuality
has few or no risks, and individuals are born homosexual and cannot change.
Those who oppose such teaching are characterized as ignorant and hateful
bigots.
Click here for Frequently Asked Questions about the Day of
Silence:
Take Action!
What should parents do? Check with your local school principal
to see if your child's school will be participating in DOS. If the school is
participating, notify other parents about DOS and ask them to join in
keeping their children out of school on that day.
Here is a partial list of schools which are expected to
participate in DOS: If your school is listed, call your local school and
ascertain whether they officially or passively allow students to observe
"Day of Silence." If your school is listed, please double-check with your
local school to see if the school is actually sponsoring DOS. Sometimes the
"participation" turns out to be a handful of kids who are saying they have a
homosexual club and are observing this protest day, but without school
endorsement. We sincerely hope your school, if listed, is not actually an
official sponsor. If it is not, we will take them off the list, if a school
official asks us to do so. Please e-mail your correction to
editor at missionamerica.com.
Some tips:
1.. Be sure of the date that DOS is planned for your school.
(The national date is April 25, but some schools observe DOS on a different
date.)
2.. Inform the school of your intention to keep your child
home on that date and explain why. Click here for a sample letter.
3.. Explain to your children why you're taking a stand:
Homosexual behavior is not an innate identity; it is a sinful, unnatural and
destructive behavior. No school should advance a physically, emotionally,
and spiritually destructive sexual lifestyle to students.
4.. Encourage your church leadership to follow the bold
example of Pastor Ken Hutcherson who is vocally opposing "Day of Silence" in
his community in Redmond, Washington. For his story, click here.

Just so you understand, I'm not sending this out as a political action
issue. This isn't a "this is happening, take action" thing, which many of
us get everyday, I would guess.
My purpose was to generate discussion about how we could address this with
our seminary students since it sounds like most of them will be dealing with
it. I will be covering Lamentations the day before this happens, and I
think it's very interesting timing to be covering a book about the Lord
lamenting the wickedness of Israel and then having our kids walk onto their
campuses, being encouraged to show solidarity for homosexuality.
Sounds like a great teaching moment to me, which is what I thought this list
was for, but sincerely, no offense was intended.

Hello
This is my first time posting on the list and I can see the concern
mentioned by Daryl, but I actually appreciated the awareness to create a
teaching moment. I am a single sister with no children teaching a class of
grade nines. It is when they give their morning devotionals that I find out
about how active Satan is in their lives - I am very removed from jr/sr high
school life.
I was able to incorporate this example into a discussion this morning as we
talked about Job and Satan walking to and fro on the earth and that
sometimes trials come to us not because of our own wickedness but because we
are being tested or proved. We are in fact fulfilling our purpose in coming
to earth to have agency. I
I too think we need to be careful about what is posted on this list, but for
a teacher that is really struggling to come up with current case situations
to discuss with the youth I appreciated this example.

Annie,
I appreciated your posting and understood what you were trying to use it
for. I am currently teaching Isaiah and we are discussing the prophecies
for our day. Our discussions in class about the world today are really
helping my students to see these prophecies being fulfilled. This is just
another example for my students.

Just so you understand, I'm not sending this out as a political action
issue. This isn't a "this is happening, take action" thing, which many of
us get everyday, I would guess.
My purpose was to generate discussion about how we could address this with
our seminary students since it sounds like most of them will be dealing with
it. I will be covering Lamentations the day before this happens, and I
think it's very interesting timing to be covering a book about the Lord
lamenting the wickedness of Israel and then having our kids walk onto their
campuses, being encouraged to show solidarity for homosexuality.
Sounds like a great teaching moment to me, which is what I thought this list
was for, but sincerely, no offense was intended.
Annie
