Nice to know, Cayuga. My son’s school is relatively new, first graduating class last year, and predominately conservative. Last year was the first time they did Day of Silence. No problems with teachers, but a group of boys, mostly football players, were very confrontational. There was some name-calling and quite a few menacing looks. I was disappointed that the administration did not deal with this in a way that said: “This is not ok”, but I think they are very afraid of a vocal evangelical group among the parents. Many of the latter will be very incensed that this observance will be “tolerated” at the school today.
