The participants will try to not talk all day to protest bullying in general and specifically anti-gay bullying, name calling and harassment. They will carry a card explaining their silence and will wear something red, purple, or tie-dyed.
Please respect their commitment to this cause and not require them to speak to help these dedicated students build awareness and make a commitment to address these injustices.
However, they know that if a teacher or an authority figure demands they speak because of a class assignment or directly asks them a question, they must respectfully answer.
