‘Scuffle’ Breaks Out in Nebraska Over ‘Day of Silence’

April 25, 2008 by Andy Towle

Several adults holding posters who showed up at a park near a school in Lincoln, Nebraska to protest today’s ‘Day of Silence’ were met by some kids from the school, one of whom “ran through the middle of one of the posters,” the Journal Star reports:

Lincolneast“The incident took place during the school’s Day of Silence, an annual event that took place in high schools across Lincoln Friday, said Gene Thompson, associate principal at Lincoln East…Thompson said three or four adults carried anti-gay posters in a public park near the school. He said more than a dozen students then began protesting the adults. The school sent administration and security staff to ensure nothing happened. The school didn’t suspend anyone, as the incident took place off school property, Thompson said.”
