On Friday, students will participate in the second-annual Golden Rule Pledge, and on Monday in the fifth-annual Day of Truth. The separate events, sponsored by conservative Christian organizers, were established to give students an option to the Day of Silence, a yearly event backed by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that is promoted as an anti-bullying event but is seen by many as supporting the entire homosexual agenda and giving a one-sided view of the debate over homosexuality.

Judge Glenda Hatchett spoke about overcoming the biggest struggle in her life at the first annual “Pretty in Pinstripes” Power Luncheon and awards held at the Camelot by Martins on Sat, 21. Standing proudly the Judge served as keynote speaker and delivered an emotional speech about discovering passion and empowering women to over 200 people. 

 “My grandfather passed away from a heart attack several years ago. That was the most difficult thing I had to go through. People will always run into hurdles, it’s all a matter of how high you are willing to jump to overcome them,” said Hatchett.
