My point is, by having a school just for one group of people, you're sheltering them from the real world. It's not easy, but if people learned simple people skills they'd be better off. People take things really personal. No, conventional high school isn't a walk in the park for gay studens. That 14-18 age group has some pretty immature people, but what's also immature is people running away and seeking refuge in a utopia that does not exist. What happens when they walk out of that high school? What about after high school? What about LIFE in general?
Edit: "These people" is kind of impersonal and demeaning. They're still people. Maybe parents should treat their kids to keep their mouth shut and not form opinion on people that they do not know personally. Stereotypes show laziness and ignorance. I disagree with the school, but it's made on the premise that there IS a lot of negative feelings and actions against one group of people. It DOES deserve special attention. I think it just sweeps it under a rug.
I agree completely......that right there is my problem with the school......
