I'm worried. I'm starting to have respect for some of my government. I hadn't realised how many Catholics there were in the upper echelons of Canadian politics.
Does this seem like a bad idea do anyone else?

::nods:: In that I fully agree with you. There is a potential for trouble. However, I do have faith in the GLBT community who is providing these services to see these potential problems and do their best to avoid them.

I wouldn't say that a smaller-scale school of this type in other large cities (LA in particular) would be amiss, as long as it was implemented properly (as I feel Harvey Milk is doing).

I also have some faith in society... if you can call it faith... that they won't allow these schools to become the norm. Sure, they may not want queer kids in their schools... but they would probably rather have that than these schools being allowed to exist so those Perverted Homosexuals can Convert the Youth of America... or whatever.

I think the biggest problem here isn't with the school at all, but with the reporting that is being done about it. People who are going on about segregation and the like haven't gotten all of the facts, and that's the fault of the reporters, I think. But c'est la vie, I suppose. If we could count oon the media to present things accurately, I don't think the American government would be as messed up as it is... but that's a whole other rant that I won't be getting into. :)
