From the California Family Council: April 15 is being celebrated as a Day of Truth, now a project of Exodus International. The purpose is to provide an option for students to exercise their First Amendment right to freely express the truth about faith, sexuality and relationships. It is designed to promote authentic diversity and dialogue among peers on campus in order to foster honest communication and answers. Launched by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) in 2005, Focus on the Family and Exodus International joined the project two years later to provide expertise, information and support regarding the theological, social and religious issues central to the topic. On April 16, the pro-homosexual alternative Day of Silence, students are encouraged to take a vow of silence throughout the day. A SVUSD parent said, “Families need to know about this.”
