Do We Need Gay Friendly Schools
The answer I give may surprise you, but I feel that gay friendly schools are not needed. The schools that we have should be fine for any child to attend whether they are gay or straight. The idea of building and making schools for a special cause is ridiculous. Who is going to learn respect and acceptance if they are allowed to choose a school to attend? Blacks, gays, straights, Asians, Spanish, Jamaican, Hmong and any other child should go to school in their school district and be taught to accept all of their peers.
Allowing schools to discriminate or to allow discrimination in schools is where the problem lies. Stop the schools from overlooking the need for acceptance of all. Building schools where only straight and gay students that get along with each other is not the answer. Making the schools we have more acceptable of all kids is what is needed. Train teachers and principles to be teach children respect and acceptance. Send letters out to parents, (the ones that care anyways) saying that kids will have to get along and accept each other or face detention or possible expulsion.
Teachers, parents and principles, take back control of the schools and teach respect and acceptance instead of looking for any easy way out. Work for your money (principles that is).
