When the Edmund Burke School in Washington, D.C., held a “diversity day,” students gathered in a circle and were asked to step into the middle if they described themselves as homosexual. No students stepped forward. Then they were asked to step forward if they thought of themselves as bisexual, and of the sixty students present, fifteen stepped forward, including eleven girls.

Is it just me or is the thought of a school making someone declare sexual-related aspects about themselves incredibly fascistic, even setting aside that youngsters may not be fully certain?

Especially surprising considering it was the "Edmund Burke School".

I bet Edmund Burke is rolling over in his grave.

The courts have agreed that students can not grade one another's papers because of privacy issues. Sexuality, however, can be exposed in an open assembly.

OK...I think I understand.

Excellent point. Fifty cents says a homosexual adult was in the room when that transpired. That little mise en scene is very liberal, very GLSEN-ian. Wonder if there was a homosexual adult in the room, taking names?
