Hmmm ... I think it's a bad idea but not for monetary reasons. I think it is important to teach tolerance. If the harassment is unbearable, do something about it. Don't make the kids outcasts just because they have different interests. I agree that no one can make you feel bad about yourself without your permission. Of course, in high school no one has any real confidence yet. It is up to the administrators to identify the problem and work to resolve it. To segregate them will only confirm the heterosexual students' opinion that there is something wrong with homosexuals in general ... thus carrying hatred and prejudice through another generation. Whether you agree with the life choices or sexual orientation of another person makes is of little importance. NYC is still in America last time I checked. Why don't we let the government classes put a little extra emphasis on freedom. How about the health teachers discuss same sex safety right along side the boy/girl condom lecture. At the high school I went to, racial slurs would get you expelled. Shouldn't acts of cruelty and violence toward gay/lesbian students receive the same treatment?

Ok ... I'm ranting. Sorry. Sort of a touchy subject with me. Thanks for asking the question Irish.
