I think it's a bad idea and will have the opposite effect of making them even more of a target. Just imagine being identified as the one that goes to that~~insert favorite derogatory commment here~~school. Yeesh! Students should learn from an early age that the world is composed of many different kinds of people, whether the difference occurs in race, gender, size, or sexual orientation--note I didn't say preference--doesn't really matter. It's this diversity that's fundamentally the core strength of our species. Creating this separate school doesn't allow other students to learn this valuable lesson, nor does it present them with an opportunity to confront their own prejudices and to learn to accept individuals for who they are and not shy away because of some label.


O.K. I'm off the soapbox.
