Never ever am I more annoying to my fellow conservatives than when I state how popular Hillary Clinton is, and what a threat she is, on the political stage. I annoyed conservatives all through that Senate campaign, when many were chortling "carpetbagger," "liberal extremist," etc. And I have done so more recently by pointing to the mind-boggling popularity of her memoir. This is a book that, from what I've heard, is dull and unnewsworthy. And it's flying off the shelves. It is winning back that historic advance, and going on from there. Now one reads that, on the day she...

The day rarely goes by when the public schools don’t offer another reason to shut them down, and they have kindly obliged again. "1st public gay high school set for NY," the MSNBC Web site reported on Monday. In a bit of dark humor, the headline link ran just below this one: "HIV cases rise among U.S. gay men."You’d think the news about AIDS might give the public schools pause, but alack, when the subject involves perversion, educationist fools rush in where angels fear to tread.Still, the high school is a welcome development. It hastens the day when public education...

July 30— By Gideon Long LONDON (Reuters) - An American decision to publicly fund a high school for homosexual students in New York is a misguided exercise in political correctness which risks isolating the gay community, Europeans said Wednesday.Activists, students and officials across the continent agreed gay schools would never catch on in Europe.Even the British -- culturally closer to the Americans than any other Europeans -- were skeptical."Special schools may serve as shelter for vulnerable and bullied students but in the long term they won't solve the problem of living in a homophobic society," said Carlie Harter-Penman, spokeswoman for...

New York has created the first American gay-only public school, Harvey Milk High School. Thus, the line to cross for absurdity has officially been moved. Ironically enough, however, this issue actually illustrates how shady and inconsistent liberals are on almost identical and contemporaneous issues. For example, compare the special interests that support gay-only schools with their ideological stance on say, single-sex public schools. On May 8th the radically liberal organization NOW (National Organization for Women), which operates as a “women’s rights front group” as I call it, released their comments on the Department of Education’s intent to regulate on single-sex...

Cool! ----------------------- Cool! Does this mean we can now feel free to separate the students according to "sexual orientation"? Can we now have all-straight schools funded by the taxpayers so that our straight children won't have to be exposed to the "gay" students flaunting their "lifestyle choices"? B. Faler ----------------------- Quarantine 'gay' students ----------------------- I think that it is more than appropriate to quarantine "gay" students in schools exclusively for them. Preventing contamination of the heterosexual masses by "gays" is an admirable political and social agenda. It is also appropriate to adhere to the religious admonition regarding "lead us not...

<p>July 30, 2003 -- It seems the government has decided to discriminate against everyone who is not homosexual, bisexual, or transgender ("Out of Their Minds," Editorial, July 29). But then, I guess the rest of us don't deserve "special rights."</p> <p>Joplin, Mo.</p>

<p>REMartin NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City is creating the nation's first public high school for gays, bisexuals and transgender students.</p> <p>The Harvey Milk High School will enroll about 100 students and open in a newly renovated building in the fall.

New York City has so many things that make it unique; it makes it hard to decide where to start. Then again, the cash strapped city just opened a new high school at a cost of about 3 million dollars which doesn’t allow straight students to attend. However, if you are gay or bisexual or a transgender, welcome home. Seriously. The powers that be in NYC have decided that they have collected enough money from fining smokers in public places, and animal lovers in subways, and can now spend city money to ensure that straight people are no where in...

The 1st homosexual school -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: July 29, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com New York City has done what many of us would have considered unthinkable just a few months ago – announced plans for the first taxpayer-funded, all-homosexual high school. I don't believe this would be happening now without the U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating the anti-sodomy law in Texas. Now the homosexual activists are working at a fever pitch to transform Western civilization. Indoctrinating the next generation is an important step in that process.

New York City has done what many of us would have considered unthinkable just a few months ago – announced plans for the first taxpayer-funded, all-homosexual high school. I don't believe this would be happening now without the U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating the anti-sodomy law in Texas. Now the homosexual activists are working at a fever pitch to transform Western civilization. Indoctrinating the next generation is an important step in that process.

According to a report in the New York Post, the new Harvey Milk High School currently is undergoing a $3.2 million publicly funded renovation.

<p>July 29, 2003 -- MY LATE uncle Huey Dougherty was as gay as a New Year's Eve party. He was the toast of postwar Europe with the blockbuster play he wrote, "Seagulls Over Sorrento."</p> <p>He was just a tad short of a genius - as is my cousin, Nick, who is as tough as an old rock but jokes that he was born with a broken wrist. Certainly gay - and someone I revere.</p>

The Harvey Milk High School is scheduled to open in the fall at 2 Astor Place in the East Village with an initial enrollment of about 100 students after a $3.2 million renovation. "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," Bloomberg said. "And this way, it sort of solves that problem. It lets them...
