When I was in high school there was one openly gay girl who was harrased constantly. She was physically and verbally attacked and sometimes received death threats. The school's solution to the problem was to remove her from school and give her a home tutor. Nothing happened to the attackers and all they learned from this is if you harrass a gay person long enough, she will eventually go away. I'm afraid this is what will happen in this new school. I think it would be more effective in the long run if kids learned how to get along.
