I guess I don't care either way. I'm not gay so I can't pretend to know what it feels like to always be judged that way or think I know what's best. I honestly can't think of an effective way to address the bullying either. The types of bullying that I think are the most damaging aren't really the things that teachers and administrators can do anything about. It's not getting into fist fights in the halls, but saying things behind peoples' backs, leaving notes in lockers or on MySpace, mob situations where everyone turns against another person and that person is secluded...nasty things kids do to each other that don't break any real rules other than common decency. If these kids want a school without all of that getting in the way of their academics, sports, and social life then I'm all for it. One of the things I always think about from my psychology class is that time and again we see that in order to change people's attitudes you really have to change how things are done. We want it to be the other way around - change people's attitudes and how people are treated will change - but it just doesn't work that way. So maybe if they have this school and have a good example of how a friendly, inclusive, safe school should run, people will start to catch on and change their minds...
