<p>The Day of Silence is a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBT students and those perceived to be LGBT. &#8211; <a href="www.dayofsilence.org" title="dayofsilence.org" class="broken_link">dayofsilence.org</a></p>
<p><strong>Day of Silence is taking place this year on Friday, April 20th. </strong></p>
