It didn't happen IN the school.......

No, it happened a whole two blocks away.

And I seriously doubt that the perps would have foregone such activities, had they been registered at what passes for a normal high school in NYC.......

No, the punks would not have been in the same place at the same time. Strength in numbers, you know. As for the quality of NYC schools, well, 52% of HS freshman do not graduate. That pretty much tells the story.

The legal age of consent in New York is 17 years old.
And, there is a difference between providing sexual
education and determination of sexual orientation and
classification which will undeniably remain part of
the public record ad infinitum. This school is a
ticket to sue. It will cost many more millions.
If anyone has a sixteen year old in New York then
here is their free ride. Enter the school as gay
and then after graduating find out the truth and
repent your evil ways. Blame the school for corruption
of youths, which did not even possess the legal right
to make a determination of their sexuality, in facilitating
the creation og a de facto determination by
the school system through an illegal segregation scheme.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

"Armed robbery by cross-dressing prostitutes,"

Sounds like a scene from a John Waters movie.

I think the obvious next special high school would be for geeks and nerds.

Illinois has a school called the "Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy", a public high school for students gifted in those two disciplines. It's an hour or so WNW of Chicago. It has competitive admissions; any Illinois high school freshman (it has sophmores to seniors only) is welcome to apply.

It has sports teams, etc., just like any other Illinois high school. They generally suck. The math team usually wins the state championship, though, even over the various excellent private schools in the Chicago area. They have many students that excel in the fine and performing arts and foreign languages as well (the latter partially explained by the fact that many of their parents were born in China or Japan). Many of them also get involved in community work.

I had the privilege of interviewing half a dozen of their seniors last fall for the purposes of supplementing their admission applications to MIT. One kid I interviewed had placed very highly in a national math competition, had co-written an instructional book on Go with her mother, and was runner-up for Miss Teenage Illinois.

Nice to see that the top students are getting some of the money and attention.

Even at 100 'male' students, that only works out to 50 stalls. Unless you want to do what Stanford did and cut holes in the stall walls for 'anonymous encounters'. Then you get close to the figure you cited (200 stalls).

Not only do 52% not graduate, but a lot of the ones who DO graduate are completely illiterate.

Gay screw-ups. The school does not offer a college preparatory curriculum at all. It is strictly vocational, and pretty low-level vocational at that. Nowhere near the level of, for example, the Transit High School.

I can honestly state that nothing quite like that ever happened in my high school. Toilet papering, yes. Armed robbery by cross-dressing prostitutes, no.

That was definitely good for a chuckle.
