Hmm, seems like it will only further alienate gay and lesbian kids.

Though I'm sure it's not intentional, kids will come out of this school with the "Oh, you graduated from that school" stigma.

From what I've seen that isn't much of an issue at most colleges.

This sounds like segregation to me.

It will be open to all students, but no straight guy is going to go to that school.

If anyone challenges it in court, these schools will be f*cked.

Sorry to break it to you, But Jesse Helms has been dead for a few years.

How many colleges have you been to in the South?

I'm just saying that I can understand where there would be needed benefits (keeping kids in school rather than out, hoping to build confidence and individual pride during those formative years), but the post-high School stigma may trump the intent of this.

I went to a large high school in the eastern part of my state that shares the same name of a Mental Hospital in the western part of the state. Though My High School and University are in the same town, when telling someone from the western side where I went to high school, you get a lot of 😕 looks....

In some cases I suppose, but what I am saying is that grouping people together like that will only lead to more separation and that's not necessarily a good thing.

I guess you have to weigh that against the psychological problems, and other problems caused by dropping out versus separation.
And it's not like they'll never be around straight people 😛
 
How about an atheist school? Hmm? When the hell is one of those gonna pop up?!

We already know all the male-only private catholic schools are gay friendly. 😛 Ironic considering the whole, you know, catholic part, yet they have a large number of gays, seems more so than public schools. 😉
 
Dumbest thing...Why not make it a friendly black/brown/asian/etc.. school.
Retarded to just focus on a minority part of the population and claim it to be safe for them. It's going to backfire.
