Silence has been a recurring focus of rhetorical criticism. This essay examines the role of tactical silence in political contestations, particularly during protests. To do so, it explores local debates about K-12 education policy that took place at school board meetings in Golden, Colorado between 2013 and 2015. The analysis centers on two particular school board meetings during which a social resistance organization, Jeffco Students for Change (JSFC), exposed the analog between imposed silence and chosen silence in order to reappropriate the silencing power of the Jefferson County Board of Education (JBOE) and make claims at political agency. I offer seven characteristics of tactical silence in politics that are apparent as the students use silence to challenge the board’s authority.

“如果您不想被沉默,请保持沉默:战术性沉默和Jeffco学生寻求变革”

沉默一直是修辞批评的焦点。本文探讨了战术沉默在政治竞赛中的作用,尤其是在抗议活动中。为此,本文探讨了2013年至2015年之间在科罗拉多州戈尔登市的校务委员会会议上发生的有关K-12教育政策的本地辩论。分析着重于两次特别的校务委员会会议,在此期间,社会抵抗组织Jeffco Students for Change (JSFC),暴露了强加的沉默与选择的沉默之间的相似之处,以便重新利用杰斐逊县教育委员会(JBOE)的沉默权,并向政治机构提出要求。我提供了政治上战术沉默的七个特征,这些特征在学生利用沉默挑战董事会的权威时显而易见。
