But how will straight kids learn tolerance? 


New York City creates first high school for gays, bisexuals and transgender students:

"I think everybody feels that it's a good idea because some of the kids who are gays and lesbians have been constantly harassed and beaten in other schools," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday. "It lets them get an education without having to worry."

The new school's principal, William Salzman, said the school will be academically challenging and will follow mandatory English and math programs. It also will specialize in computer technology, arts and culinary arts.
UPDATE: Ben Domenech points out that the school's admission policy discriminates against straights.
