Today is Day of Silence at many schools across the US, at least at those with the courage to ignore Trump's threats against DEI and against the lgbtq community. On this day, many students and teachers take a vow of silence in solidarity with lgbtq people throughout the world who are silenced by homophobic and transphobic laws, threats and violence, and to help educate their peers about homophobia and transphobia.

I am proud to say that scores of my students (both gay and straight) participated today by wearing stickers and, in many cases, remaining silent for the entire morning.

Stand in solidarity with lgbtq individuals who are silenced by taking a vote of silence from the beginning of the day until lunchtime.

This year, for the first time, the #GLSEN's “#DayofSilence” morphed into a #dayofaction called the “#DayofNOSilence.”

How to Mark Tomorrow's '#DayofSilence' to End #antiLGBTQ+ #Discrimination in #Schools

LGBTQ+ #students and #allies will take a #vowofsilence tomorrow to protest the harmful effects of #harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ+ people in #schools

#Women #Transgender #LGBTQIA #Education #Hate #Bigotry #Discrimination #Homophobia #Transphobia

Day of Silence is GLSEN's (pronounced glisten; formerly the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) annual day of action to spread awareness about the effects of the bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) students. In the United States, students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of #LGBTQ students. Let’s show support for this movement by being loud with our silence and using it to resolve to work to amplify all marginalized people. https://www.bestcolleges.com/blog/lgbtq-national-day-of-silence/ #NationalDayOfSilence #DayOfSilence
