My question is what is next? Child Welfare officials removing kids from your house because you refuse to sacrifice them to the Diversity Gods...that could be next.

There is no pretense of academics playing a role in who is admitted you simply have to be a gay, lesbian, transgender So what is the entrance test?
I mean, how does one "prove" that they meet this requirement?
How can we be sure that someone is not lying just to get in?
Never mind, I don't really want to know...

This is the sort of asinine thing you get when a society buys into the special rights for CHOSEN sexual proclivities. The city of New York should be cut off from federal funds until they cease wasting money creating special rights and special education programs for persons who have chosen to identify their 'minority' status by their chosen sexual proclivities. Imagine what an insult this is to actual special students! Liberalism will destroy this nation if the democrats are allowed to continue imprinting their brand of socialist societal engineering upon the U.S.

Another terrific Cathryn column.
I'm, shall we say, height challenged, and had trouble with the bullies for that. So, do shorties like me get our own high school? (I don't carry a grudge. When I go to class reunions most of the bullies are digging ditches.)
I heard this school justified on the basis that "gay youth" in NYC allegedly graduate at below 50% but this school graduates above 90%. Never mind whether the statistics are accurate. The point is the same thing could be said for most NYC students, who would love the chance to attend a college prep academy, but the anti-school-choice crowd won't let 'em. So why do the gays get special privileges? Never mind, I know . . .

Ahh... who's listening to her anyway.
This is just the bold new world of diversity and we should embrace it! Sometimes we need to be more exclusive for certain cultures than others. It's all a part of the grand scheme of things. You know... like making sodomy a virtue and vilifying the 10 Commandments. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks its a wonderful idea: "[F]rom a pedagogical point of view, it [is] a good idea...."[sarcasm]
Bloomberg continued, "And from a pedophilic point of view, it a great idea! The school has been flooded with job applications from the members of NAMBLA. Yes, these little kids are really going to have their education pounded into them!"

Well, I tend to agree. I think the better idea would be to make sure that all kids are protected and feel safe in schools. How can kids learn anything if they feel unsafe?

Are we going to see all Christian or all Muslim or all Hispanic schools? There already are private Christian schools. A public Christian school is an impossibility, when the government believes that the separation of church and state is a valid argument for removing prayer from the schools.
