Day of Silence Brings Awareness

Day of Silence Brings Awareness

By Jake Lynch, Reporter

April 27 marks the date of the annual “Day of Silence”.

GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network- https://www.glsen.org/day-silence) has been holding the “Day of Silence” every April since 1996.

The “Day of Silence” is dedicated towards bringing awareness towards LGBTQ+ bullying in schools.

Students take a vow to stay silent for the whole day as a way to support LGBTQ+ students in the battle for their rights.

The goal is to unite students together as one and to end bullying of not only LGBTQ+ students, but to every student.
