I'm torn on this issue Linda..really.
I mean I know ALL kids have to deal with being picked on.
But even I know not even the uber geeks get picked on as much as the homosexuals.
Even I picked on the homosexual kids as a child...thank goodness I grew up and relized what I was doing was wrong.
In a perfect wold we wouldnt need a Harvey Milk school for gays.
But in a non perfect world were we no longer even have a Harvey Milk; perhaps its becoming bad enough were maybe we do need one.
But I worry about this..if they distance themselves from the general population will they be ready when it comes time to leave to deal with the harsh reality of the world?
I mean there are all black graduations in the U.S in public schools and its allowed and some all white.
There are still girls schools and boys schools.
Segration is still alive here in the U.S but I worry about it.
In the end if the school is private then I have no say in it.
But if its public then I think it would be a wrong to make others pay for a school they may not support for whatever thier reason.
In the end though while I think its a great idea to give these kids protection I think it would hurt them in the long run.
Laws requarding harrasment are already there to protect everyone..they should be enforced..if they are enforced then there would be no need for this school.
But sadly teachers and higher in schools often are more likly to join in on picking on the gay kid than to stop it.
