The school was upset about students wanting to stay quiet for a day.
Students at Grand Island High School wanted to observe the National Day of Silence in honor of GLBT persons who have been silenced in society. The students would hand out flyers describing why they were silent, but the kids would still participate fully in class. The school administrators initially said no--the flyers couldn't be distributed since they could be a "safety issue" to allow students to bring a box into school. Huh? After ACLU contacted the school's attorney, the Day of Silence was observed and the flyers were handed out with no problems. Tyler Pierce, the student responsible for organizing the event, will be trying to organize a GSA for the school next year.
