New York to Open First U.S. Public School for Gays

Mon Jul 28, 1:12 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A school in New York's Greenwich Village will reopen in September as America's first publicly run high school for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, officials said on Monday.

Although The Harvey Milk School has been operating with two classrooms for 20 years, $3.2 million is being spent by the City to expand it to take 100 students. Named after a gay San Francisco politician assassinated in 1978, the school will be funded jointly by the city education department and a gay rights youth advocacy group.

"Everybody feels that it's a good idea because some of the kids who are gays and lesbians have been constantly harassed and beaten in other schools and this lets them get an education without having to worry," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters at his daily briefing on Monday.

But the head of the New York State Conservative Party said the school was a waste of tax dollars.

"This makes absolutely no sense," Long told the New York Post newspaper. "There's no reason these children should be treated separately."

The school's first principal is William Salzman, a former Wall Street executive who has recently worked as an assistant high school principal.

Salzman was quoted in Monday's New York Post as saying, "This school will be a model for the country and possibly the world."

It will specialize in computer technology, art and culinary programs. It will also follow the education department's new mandatory English language and mathematics programs.

These are some of my posts on this subject from another board (which I think will be better received here):

School PA: "Attention students, due to a lack of interest, Automotive Repair 101 has been cancelled this semester. Thank you."

Their football team might not be the best, but their locker room is FABULOUS!

@ Baseball Team Tryouts: "Look guys, you can't ALL be pitchers and catchers, okay?"

Has anyone seen the ad for the new reality show on Bravo?

It is like the bachelor but with a gay guy. And the guys are going for a mill, but the twist that the gay bachelor doesnt know is that some of the guys are straight and just there for the money and not the sasuage.
