Chicago Public SchoolsWashington (CNSNews.com) – A proposed homosexual-friendly Chicago public high school is “necessary” for the well-being of students, a Chicago Public Schools administrator told CNSNews.com Wednesday.
Joyce Brown, who is in charge of the public school district’s high school counselors, said the “Social Justice High School – Pride Campus” is necessary because “the issue (of homosexuality) is out there.”
“Whatever is bubbling up,” she said, “needs to be addressed because the issue is there.”
The proposed school would offer taxpayer-funded support for homosexual and lesbian students. The school proposal was to be voted on by the Chicago Board of Education on Nov. 19, but the plan was pulled at the last minute.
If approved, the school's mission, according to the school's Web site, would be politically correct: “Project based and problem based learning that addresses real world issues through the lenses of race, gender, culture, economic equity, peace, justice, and the environment will be the catalyst for developing our curriculum.”
When asked how the introduction of social justice high schools improves the performance of the Chicago district, Brown was vague.
“Schools need to be connected with the students they teach,” she said.
Brown, who was in Washington to take part in a news conference on college admissions testing, said she did not want the homosexual school’s creation to reflect “that our system has failed and we have to have pullouts.”
That means, she said, that the proposed high school is not being created to address any purported “bullying” or “intolerance” of homosexual and lesbian students in Chicago public schools.
Brown said efforts to decrease bullying are in place in all public schools.
Social Justice High School – Pride Campus is important, she said, because students need “to feel comfortable.”
“It’s important that we address the needs of that particular segment and say ‘What’s not working for you in our system that we can work on’?”
She added: "That is what matters -- coming to a school where you feel valued, where people are going to push you to the next level of success, and they are there to help you and show that they care.”
Brown expects that the plan will re-surface again for consideration in the future.
“It’s not off the table,” she said.
According to the Sodomite version of the Bible they recently authored, this is the case.
For now, the word Chicago just translates to crooked politicians.
Read up on the Sex Positive Agenda and you will see that indeed it is another liberal idea. And your tax dollars fund it.

I read somewhere that they were not going to have this school. I guess now that “The One” is president-elect, it was revived.
Let’s see some possible names for this school:
Obama High
Bill Ayres High
I. C. Urdingy High
Fudge & Munch High
Every day is “See You at the Pole Day” at Homo High
The issue of pedophilia is 'out there' too, Joyce. Of course, by issue you mean 'sins', right?
Notice they aren't calling for a separate school for fat kids? I would be willing to bet they suffer more at the hands of their fellow students than homos do.
Our children have enjoyed such an innocent and sweet childhood, and they know nothing of these things. When they eventually find out, they are going to be shocked.
It’s so sad that ALL children, especially those with parents who’ve raised them right, will have to live with this insanity. As right as we may raise them, what will their future hold in what was once the greatest nation on earth?
Note to self:
1. Cash out T-Bills.
2. Invest in Lysol stock.
Build a special wing for the Turkish baths.
You can hide homo. You can't hide fat.
Flaming High?
More high minded crap from the “we are the abused homosexual Minority” and the idiots who bleed ud in our “Govt”.
When my daughter didn’t like the way My Grandson was treated in Public school she had to put him in privete school at $ 27,000 per and got not so much as one thin dime from our “Govt”.
Plus the $10,000 in taxes she pays plus about $4000 in gas costs at $4.00 per gallon.
Homosexuals should go to Public schools or go STRAIGHT.
I guess this will mean more problems besides smoking in the washroom...
Great idea, put all the pedophiles in the same school and let them have each other. Hopefully, the transmission of disease by unusual routes (think fecal-oral route) will take care of the situation.
Yeah,sure. The well-being of gays. Screw everyone else.
On the plus side, it’ll make a convenient target when the ROP armies come to cleanse us infidels of our rampant immorality.
I propose they call it “Ernst Röhm High School”.
Hey humble, you gonna take some classes?
