ACLU: “Four Things You Should Know about Student Rights and Day of Silence”
The ACLU has posted this list of dos and do nots for students participating in the Day of Silence. One of particular interest reads:
Students who oppose Day of Silence DO have the right to express their views, too. Like you, they must do so in a civil, peaceful way and they must limit their expression to non-instructional time. They do NOT have a right to skip school on Day of Silence without any consequences, just as you don’t have a right to skip school just because you don’t like what they think or say.
