I am curious to wonder why the Daily Herald didn't mention anything about the Day of Silence. It occurred in many schools across the state, but not a thing was said about the cause or effect of it. At my school, my friend and I had set up a way to support the Day of Silence and worked very hard to have it approved and make it happen, but nothing was said. I know that many students at American Fork High school participated also. I attend Pleasant Grove High and was appalled at what people (other students) continued to say! I had heard countless times "Fags should all be permanently silenced". Is this what this city is about? Teaching our children to Discriminate against anyone different? I have been told by students attending PGHS, "All gays should be shot." I find this inappropriate. But no matter how many times I talk to the principals about it, nothing is done.
