Off topic, but I had a thought this morning... A couple of years ago, a new charter school, called The Magic City Academy, opened in B'ham, AL where I live. The school is exclusively for LGBTQ and their "allies". Based on how gays were treated when I was in HS in the 90s, I didn't see why LGBTQ needed their own 'safe space' but they wanted one and built a new school with state & federal funding. It took me 2 years to realize why the school was really created in the first place. It seems obvious that parents from the rich, influential suburbs helped get this school created as a way to get LGBTQ students OUT of their school. It worked and it's a win-win.

Now that is a strategy: build their own place and make them feel special when in fact it's only a ploy to get them away from those who don't want the rhetoric. I wonder if any of the students in attendance or parents of those students see it?
