Harvey Milk was killed along with SF Mayor George Moscone. This is how Deputy Mayor Dianne Feinstein came to power in California.

And how Twinkies became my favorite junk food.

The concept of a publicly funded school participating in selective admissions on basis of sexual orientation is discrimination. I'm not one to judge homosexuals individually, but when any group attempts to use government funds to achieve an unfair advantage over others, then the greater ethical implications must be dealt with. Mathew Staver's comments a few years back still rings true to me

"New York City officials robbed from the poor, under-funded minority schools to pay for a homosexual school. Rather than providing a "model" to the nation, New York City officials have provided a blueprint of what not to do. This wasteful use of tax dollars must be stopped."

Well, you sure can tell by the way they act. Also, if they are a cross-dresser, that tends to clear up any questions pretty fast.

Personally, I happen to believe that at least 90% of those who label themselves homosexuals see themselves as such due to environmental conditioning (both men and women). The rest can possibly be attributed to some mental abnormality.

school administrators and HMI admit that they cannot discriminate in admissions, or otherwise, against heterosexual students

Next thing you know, we'll force them to allow the American Flag, to say the Pledge of Allegiance & maybe a prayer or two.

I wonder what they call their sports teams. The Fighting Gamecocks and the Packers come to mind.

NYC Settles Lawsuit By Agreeing to Open "Gay-Only" School to Heterosexuals

ROTFLMAO!! -- related: 'Disrobed': How Conservatives Can Take Back the Courts


In Mark W. Smith's new book, Disrobed: The New Battle Plan to Break the Left's Stranglehold on the Courts, he advocates a radical new plan for conservatives to take back the courts. After working with Mark on the research for Disrobed, I spoke with him about the reaction the book has received from conservatives and whether they will embrace lawsuits as lawmaking and conservative judicial activism.

That would be the high school of fashion industries... http://fashionhighschool.net/

Their web design course is apparently not as impressive as their fashion design...

no but the budge money can now be moved to other schools and this one eventually shut down.

IIRC, the school had a gay gang that would mug people "off campus" between classes. Or maybe it was after classes.

Just another waste of money extorted from taxpayers under threat of imprisonment.

Well, you probably want to go to the High School of Graphic Communication Arts for graphics.

Hopefully, "you" refers to "one" rather than "me." Having been to High School once under the rather brutal regimen of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, I have no real desire to relive the experience, even from a secular perspective. One does wonder whether one actually gets educated in these highly specialized vocational schools, but perhaps that's no longer the point.

Actually, I was referring to the fact that only one of their links seems to work, although, now that you mention it the graphics are a bit cheesy.

They're not really vocational schools as we think of vocational schools. They're typical high schools with a concentration in their respective fields.

And yeah, the kids get a decent education in the fields. The kids who study fashion typically go on to low level jobs in the rag trade or to a fashion/design college like FIT while the kids who study photography etc. go to low level jobs in advertising or schools like SVA. Needless to say, kids who go to the high school of the performing arts, go into theater, movies, etc.

Other high schools specialize in sciences, like Bronx Science, Stuy, Brooklyn Tech.

The thing about NYC public education is that it's a meritocracy. If you're smart or have talent, then you can get an excellent education. If you're just so-so or at a low level, then you're basically kicked to the curb. It's not fair, but it's the way it is.

See, this is one reason why the gay high school is somewhat failing. It doesn't relate to anything pragmatic.
