Taxpayer dollars usually support a lot of public schools with a special focus, ie, performing arts, gifted programs, vocational education. So, this school may be trying to just fit in with the rest of those, which means our dollars will still support them.

I think it's unfortunate that this school will open. How will the selection process be? Do you have to have your parent's permission? I didn't realize there were that many teens that were just so out that they would choose this type of school...there are usually just a few flamboyant ones at that age. But even the quiet, suspect ones might not be comfortable in that environment.

I also don't see how this is going to help the overall education process. Teasing, cliques and popularity contests are an unfortunate part of school. Are they going to start a school for kids with acne or kids who get picked on by bullies so that they can feel more comfortable too?
