Homosexual high school nixed until next year

The proposal for a homosexual school in Chicago has been withdrawn, but a pro-family advocate believes it will be submitted again next year.

Social Justice Solidarity High School was supposed to be a safe haven for homosexual youth and would have featured homosexual-friendly curriculum, but the school ran into opposition from both sides. Pro-family advocates opposed the use of taxpayer money to fund the school, while some homosexual groups opposed the school because they claimed it amounted to segregation. (See earlier story)

Laurie Higgins, director of school advocacy at the Illinois Family Institute, says proponents of the school had watered down the proposal to focus on all so-called "disenfranchised" students. "Some of the people on the design committee were unhappy with the watering down of the proposal, and they hope to finalize some plans and resubmit them with a stronger proposal, which I think means more affirmation of homosexuality," she explains. "That was a very disturbing report."

She opposes the school on the grounds that it uses taxpayer money. Higgins contends that Chicago schools have other problems that the money would be better used to address. "Listen, we do need to make schools comfortable places as best we can for all students, but those means do not justify the ends of affirming ideas that are both fallacious and destructive to individuals and society," she concludes.

Homosexual advocates plan to introduce new plans for the school in 2009.

Sounds like something spoiled their plans to have students up the wazoo.

I’m sure they want to wait to get an all gay faculty. Then they can REALLY teach them a thing or two.

Keep your fingers crossed for Disney’s “HOMOSEXUAL HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.” Brandon gets Justin away from Dillon! Can’t wait my little pixies!!! /sarc

Is it wrong to say it’s probably a good thing to have them all rounded up in one place?

Let us save tax payer money, we could make home schooling more fashionable with other groups traditionally not for home schooling. If a young person is unable to blend well with the public school maybe they could learn better in independent study and learn at home.

Note to self: Any future job applicant with this High School on his or her resume is automatically disqualified barring some later term of service in the US Military.

That is all.

The public school system has been taken over by liberals. I don’t want my kids to “blend well” in public school. I want them to be indepedent-thinking, morally-upright individuals instead of indoctrinated, Kool-Aid drinkers with absolutely no idea of what really happened in U.S. history.

Off my soap box now ...

So, segregation of races is bad, but segregation based on sexual orientation is good?

Wha?

Interesting. Single-sex public schools are illegal because they violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution. How does a public school that caters exclusively to gays pass constitutional muster?

I was reading yesterday that some school has already changed its name to be named after Obama. This school would be another perfect candidate to be named after Obama. What a perfect namesake for this school. I bet their football team would be the worst in Illinois history though. Yet, on a brighter note, they would rule field hockey.

Deer droppings - they oppose it because homosexuals would be isolated. They need to infiltrate and seek new hosts like viruses.
