Gay-Only Public Schools
What the hell. NYC to open high school for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. Since when did separate but equal come back into vogue?
But New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long blasted the school as "social engineering" that wastes tax dollars. "Is there a different way to teach homosexuals? Is there gay math? This is wrong. This makes absolutely no sense," Long said. "There's no reason these children should be treated separately." Long said there are city and state discrimination laws on the books and that authorities should enforce them to stop gay-bashing.
"What next? Maybe we should have schools for chubby kids who get picked on. Maybe all kids who wear glasses should have special schools. It's ridiculous," he said.
Yeah, what he said.
UPDATE: Here's a picture of the gay-only school.
