8/07/2003 05:38:00 PM | Timothy Harvey Milk Daily Kos defends Harvey Milk High School, noting it is an expansion of a 1984 program for troubled gay kids at risk of violence or worse. Bank of Knowledge attacks the program, and also links to The Hamster (one comment there responds to the separate but equal problem: "I disagree. Most gays and lesbians face brutal treatment in schools, and most schools except on the east and west coast look the other ways. I figure most of the kids at these schools have suffered severe harassment before in school. If 5% or 10% of the population really is gay, lesbian, or bisexual, one school isn't going to take them out of the mainstream, but it may create a haven for those who need it." This blogger says we should have tolerance programs in all schools, and also links to this LiveJournal posting: The new LGBT highschool in NY is not just a public institution. It turns out that it's gotten major grants from private sources, and the city is only providing partial funding. Just like they do for religious schools. It seems to burn some people up that this school is getting tax dollars, but I don't see them using the same soapbox to protest that Catholic schools get state and federal funding.There was an article in The Dartmouth as well. perma link |
