Is is silly-season, already?!?
Any similarities between these to stories are due only to your excellent perceptual abilities.Operating for two decades as a small alternative program with just two classrooms, the new Harvey Milk High School officially opens as a stand-alone public school with 100 students in September.
[btw -- don't they have any notable, accomplished gay men [or women?!?] in NY to name this place in honor of? is it really the banner they want to run under one of a mediocre SF,CA politician who was killed by a nut-bucket? or is that "martyred" by a "straight?"]
"Using a white teacher would send the wrong message to black students... "... that the importance of your historical background is less important... than a schedule conflict."
Well, if we can't tell kids who live in the valley a story about mountain climbing, I guess there's gotta be short people's history, history for people who paint their toe nails, dog-lover's history, red-haired people's history, history for math-majors. Oh, gawd! What if I fall into two of these categories?!? I'll never make it across campus in time to catch both classes! How about history for people who are always late? Just forget History for Adults.
