Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't starting this school technically illegal? When the Supreme Court reached it's decision in Plessy vs. Ferguson, it said that "separate but equal is equal" which basically gave the go-ahead for segregation. When it reached the decision for Brown vs. Board of Ed, it said that "separate but equal is inherently unequal" which was supposed to end segragation in public schools and institutions. By creating a public school for kids of only a certain sexual orientation, the NYC Board of Ed is going by the basis that "separate but equal is equal" which basically violates Supreme Court law.
