New LGBTQ school, a first of its kind in the country, breaking barriers in Cleveland

CLEVELAND — A new School of One, run by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, is focused on creating a space for students who identify as LGBTQ+.

During the pandemic, classes are online, but once hybrid learning is available, leaders at the school hope to have some students at the LGBT Community Center on Detroit. CMSD says it is the first of its kind in the country.

"It blows my mind. I didn't honestly think it was going to be this easy," said DaJon Battle, a program administrator with the district. Battle, who identifies as Queer, said representation in schools is important.

This is not the first School of One for the district. The program has eight other sites. The School of One is based online and students work at their own pace.

Battle said the only roadblock to starting the school was the pandemic.

"There was no pushback," Battle said. "Not from the board. Not from Mr. Eric Gordon. Not from a principal. I literally walked up to my principal one day and said 'I would like to open up a School of One at the LGBT Center.' And he was like, 'okay.'"

Funding for these School of One programs come from the district's general fund.

Battle is leading the charge in the district to add more inclusive learning opportunities for students.

"They didn't feel like their story was being heard," Battle said of LGBTQ student experiences. "And, so, I felt that it was really important to open up a school that just allows our students to be normal."

So far, Battle said the response from students has been good.

"Like they really felt like I can be seen," she said. "My voice is being heard and I'm not I'm now comfortable in who I am."

Just so they do regular STD checkups on all the students, the way the USArmy would periodically check out brothels to stop STD spread.

Oh yes...and make sure all their teachers are heterosexuals, so that the kids won’t be exploited by their teachers.

Well it used to be the “love that dare not speak its name”. Now it’s the “love” that won’t shut the freak up. Remember when they claimed that all they wanted was to be left alone to be perverts in private? Now we not only all have to know about it, we’re supposed to bake them a cake too.

actually having them all at 1 school and away from normal kids is a great idea.
I hate that most of this LGBTFUBAR stuff is driven by parents who want the attention.

Students are so fortunate. They can chose ther imagined rigging!

And whats more, instead of struggling with puberty and heterosexual relations as the majority do to maturity, students are so lucky to able to experience a choice:

” hybrid learning is available”

in so many ways.

Since when is it the government’s business to define sexuality in anyone?

INstitutional sexual fixation is worse than individual sexual fixation, because it perpetuates this suffering intergenerationally.

Just go out and have children, hope their health and stop making the central point of their development the fact that they at some point in their development play doctor.

It makes teachers look and act like developmental voyeurs disguised as compassionate teachers. In fact they are fools if not pedophilic criminals.

Institutional pervesions virtue signal in Cleveland. Give me back my tax money.

Funny you should mention that. Have you ever seen the movie Baseketball? The San Francisco team is called the Ferries, and the cheerleaders are all male.

What barriers? If they were able to open this school with no problem, then there are NO barriers!

I’m not sure it didn’t happen in Genesis 19. And God, not anyone else, God destroyed rhe city. Some people want to change Bible history and truth. God is allowing a window of time for repentance. Sodom never had the written Bible. They did have nature. Very sad day to see America fall.

God has already spoken on this subject. In Genesis 19 He brought down fire from heaven to punish sodomites. That was in the Patriarchal Dispensation.

It (the Patriarchal Dispensation) passed and was replaced by the Law of Moses. The Law of Moses specified several crimes that could only be punished by death. Homosexuality was one of those.

The Law of Moses passed out of existence and was fulfilled and replaced by the Law of Christ. Christianity. When the New Testament was penned, Christians did not have the authority to execute sodomites, but the Apostle Paul assured us that it continued to be a crime punishable by death. (Romans 1:28,32).

Two things are certain. First, this is one reason the entire non-Christian/anti Christian world is so obsessed with eliminating Christians/Christianity from earthly existence.

Second, if American continues its decline into third world status and totalitarian bondage, it will be the direct result of us, on a national level, pushing God out.

Liberals are remaking America after a godless image. Chaos and catastrophe. That's what life without God is.

Be careful what one asks for. You just might get it.
