No need to say it ain’t gonna be easy:
“A Gilbert high school club that promotes safe schools for gay students says it has been barred this year from spreading the word about the Day of Silence on April 25, an observance meant to raise awareness of bullying.
Students who support or are in the Desert Ridge High School’s Gay, Lesbian and Straight club (GLAS) have told the Gilbert Republic they feel the organization is the target of discrimination by the Gilbert Public Schools district and school administrators.
They say they were told three weeks ago by school officials that they couldn’t advertise the day’s observance or invite students to participate, a right that is given to other school clubs.”
