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.
