LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY swisscelt)

In response to Christian conservatives' "counterprotest" to the Day of Silence (as discussed in this community and at the following entry: http://www.livejournal.com/community/christianitysex/82405.html ), I have an idea for those of you who are involved with the public schools: Take Back the Pole. The idea is simple. On the school day following the National Day of Prayer, have people gather together around the flagpole as a sign that you're "taking it back". In other words, you will not stand for attempts by Dominionists to take the United States by theocratic coup.

This year's National Day of Prayer is May 5, 2005. If done this year, it will take some very hurried organizing, but it is something that can occur every year afterwards. In fact, I hope it catches on that way. What do you say?
