Well keep in mind, the only reason bathrooms are divided by gender is to prevent people from being uncomfortable. Of course, that's assuming people are straight.

Now when they're gay, technically guys changing in front of guys would pose a problem, and vice versa.

true...but they still have to divide girls and boys....because the school includes bis as well....so they can't have boys goin for some girls at the same time

This is a bad idea.

You didn't get the full article from the NY Post, which I thought was a better read as it had some humorous but true quotes in it.

I mean really what is next? We start a school for obese kids so other students won't make fun of them? I mean if they can have special education programs inside of a pre-existing school, why not this?

And to be honest, where the hell does the city get money to waste on this? In the last few months, property tax, sale tax, transportion and so much other crap has risen due to our debt, and we got money to waste on this crap?

There are tons of schools that are overcrowded or well just bad, but they do nothing about it.

It's a weird weird world

Well you can't divide, even excluding bisexuals. If a guy couldn't be with another guy, he would need to be with all girls. Ok, so send him to the girls bathroom. Now we still face the girl/girl problem. Mixing everyone together doesn't work either.

It's impossible, without pairing up guy/girl and having a ton of bathrooms.

Until harassment ends, I think the school is a good idea.

We need to solve problems, not run from them.

Still getting picked on in school I see..

The problem is, you can shelter them as much as you want, but it really doesn't help anyone and makes them EVEN bigger targets.

I mean if all the gay students are in one school, where do you go to beat up the gay students? That one school.

And like I stated before we are going to have to start many schools to match this.

-School for fat kids
-School for kids with glasses
-School for geeks/nerds, whatever else
-School for white folks
-School for black folks
-School for Hispanics
-School for Asians
-School for short folks

And I again bring up the fact, this city doesn't have money to spare.

What, and get shot like Harvey Milk did? No thanks. I'll just establish a school for white kids with blond hair and blue eyes. And I'll train them to use weapons. Now you want to harass us? That's what I thought. Problem solved.

Anyone else need a consultation?

Well you can, but it would have to be a private school. You would recieve no government support, but you could do it, as long as you didn't violate any laws. This school is public, meaning paid for by Penguin himself.

What happens when some crazy terrorist who hates gay people comes along?

You know the type, Im going to kill all gay people in the name of God. They're building one big target, and not just for bombs. Also criticism.

Yeah, i really dont know how they will fix that.

Also, did anyone think about the teachers? Will they be gay also, or are they going to employ straight teachers?

I think this is a stupid ludicrous idea. The fact that they are planning on using our money to build a school based on what certain people are turned on by is wrong.

Hey, maybe we should have an all black school next, and then an all white school, an all Asian school, and then a school just for cripples. If we all try hard enough, we'll never have to interact with anyone different than us ever again. OH JOY!

SWUNG ON AND DRIVEN DEEP TOWARD RIGHT!

IT'S GOT A CHANCE

GONE!

Well done. Especially the Strom comment.

GameMaster, your logic has been proven wrong through past usage. Remember segregation? Remember the video and pictures you saw of black people being hosed and beaten for trying to enter a white only restaurant? Did segregation SOLVE any problems with intolerance, or just create more of a rift in the classes and allow the races to further their ignorance? By your comments you spit on everything that the civil rights protesters fought for during that time.

I mean, better yet, we should let all gay people move to a whole different small continent, and then we won't have to be bothered by them at all. Or maybe we should MAKE them. This brings up a good point. Does the fact that these gay students WANT to have a separate school make the idea of segregation more palatable to usa nd more acceptable? If so, what doe that say about us?

This is a COP OUT along the same lines as blaming violence and crime on video games and the movies. Instead of trying to cure the disease we find it is much easier to treat the symtom and allow the disease more air to breath and room to grow.

If this happens this school will become a freak show. People will walk by gawking and saying "look at the GAY school". I prefer to look at gays as people, and not zoo animals, which is what every kid who goes to that school will become. They will become oddities and begin to lose their humanity in the eyes of the general populace. The more I think about the worse of an idea this is.

GameMaster · 07-29-2003, 10:25 PM

Yeah, but at my school, I'm going to train my students to fight and supply them with weapons, ok?

So, let's say the world despises white kids with blonde hair and blue eyes.

One of them walks into a restaurant to get something to eat...armed with a silencer and machine gun. Now you wanna mess with my student? You wanna try beating him up now? Yeah, I'm gonna give you 30 seconds to make me one damn good sandwich before I unleash some bullet fury on yo ass.
