July 28, 2003 -- EXCLUSIVE
The city is opening a full-fledged high school for gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender students - the first of its kind in the nation, The Post has
learned.
Operating for two decades as a small alternative program with just two
classrooms, the new Harvey Milk HS officially opens as a stand-alone public
school with 100 students in September.
The school, located at 2 Astor Place, is undergoing a $3.2 million in
city-funded renovations approved by the old Board of Education in June of
last year. It will eventually take in 170 students by September 2004, more
than tripling last year's enrollment.
The Hetrick-Martin Institute - the gay-rights youth-advocacy group that
manages and helps finance the school in conjunction with the Department of
Education - has hired the school's first principal.
In the past, Harvey Milk HS - named after the slain gay San Francisco
politician - was assigned an "off-site" supervisor who also oversaw several
other schools.
"This school will be a model for the country and possibly the world,"
Principal William Salzman said in an interview at the facility that will
boast a new science lab, 60 laptop and desktop computers donated by IBM,
additional classrooms and a new cafeteria.
Salzman, a former Wall Street executive, was most recently assistant
principal of guidance and business information technology at Brooklyn's
Automotive HS.
Salzman said Harvey Milk will be an academically rigorous school that
follows Schools Chancellor Joel Klein's mandatory English and math programs.
It will also specialize in computer technology, arts and a culinary program.
"This is a not a touchy-feely situation," Salzman said. "We intend to have
95 percent of our students go on to college. We have a lot of talent coming
into the school. We want to steer these kids in the right direction."
State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long blasted the school as "social
engineering" that wastes tax dollars.
"Is there a different way to teach homosexuals? Is there gay math? This is
wrong. This makes absolutely no sense," Long said. "There's no reason these
children should be treated separately."
Long said there are city and state discrimination laws on the books and that
authorities should enforce them to stop gay-bashing.
"What next? Maybe we should have schools for chubby kids who get picked on.
Maybe all kids who wear glasses should have special schools. It's
ridiculous," he said.
What burns Long most is the $3 million spent on renovations. "Maybe this is
one of the reasons the city has no money," he said.
Arthur Larsen, who graduated from the program last month as valedictorian,
is thrilled with its expansion into a full-fledged school. "I'm now an
alumnus of a real school!" he said. "There's going to be more students. In
four years, I want to work here."
We've got to put them out in the next election...
Get out and vote against them...and get as many people as you can...

Neo "conservatives" really can't handle the truth - it's overwhelming. In
addition, the title of the post is absurd. Homosexuality can't be
"promoted." Are neo "conservatives" really so insecure that they must
attempt to squelch any kind of dialogue or acknowledgement of sexual
preferences?

It would be sort of like promoting a blood type or a shoe size. I don't
think it really has much to do with political leanings though. It seems to
me that the most rabid homophobes are often homosexuals in denial
themselves. As Shakespeare knew, the louder the denouncement the more it
rings false.
