HOUSTON, TX - The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network has registered five participating schools in Katy, at least two in the Clear Creek school district and more than 20 in the Houston area. The organization estimates that more than 6,000 schools and several hundred thousand kids will keep silent Friday.
"It's sad because we can't have a day of silence for prayer, but we can have a day of silence for that," she a public school parent.
