Topic:Selective Schools
S.O.C.:"To the tune of 5,000 Screaming Children" by the Juliana Theory
Hmm now let me raise a point here. I was watching the news and they sandwiched in between the Sadam hunt and the Kobe Sex Scandal a small little news bit about a All Gay High school. It seemed everyone had something to say. Some people said it was a way to protect Gay and Lesbian students from the threat of homophobic classmates. Others said that it was a waist of money to construct an all gay high school. Others asked why people were trying to cater to the whims of “heathens”.
I’m not exactly sure what I’m thinking of this topic truth be told. I have a lot of scattered thoughts that don’t really connect in any way but let me state them. I think that…isolating a certain group can cause tension no matter what. I mean look at CHS it’s a magnet school, a mini college, and we’ve all taken a good tongue lashing of Nerd and Geek. Not to mention when the Hardaway students make fun of us by having “Nerd day” not that I care I think they all look rather foolish don’t you guys? What do you think surrounding masses will say? I don’t know it makes me think of the X-Men for some reason.I mean and who says that they wanted to be treated differently from everyone else. I think most people just want to be accepted and feel as if they belong in a given place(preferably the place they are in). Also such institutes exist (I mean isolatory ones like Catholic schools) but hmm they work I mean it’s just…I don’t like the idea of segregation you know?And would this school be like mandatory or voluntery.
Anyway…I also think that your only temporarily protecting someone (from bullying and getting beat up…which I’m straight and I had my share of that in my childhood but don’t we all?) if you isolate them…plus I think it does more damaging. Like say you’ve lived your teen years in pretty tranquil settings and then all of a sudden you are forced into a world that would harm you for something as trivial as sexual orientation…which brings me to a different point…whose business is it but your own?
Which brings another point to that they are not HEATHENS!!! They are people…I never agreed with all this scrutiny over who people choose to love. I also never like the whole idea of you being born being a sin…that really never made any sense to me. At all. Anyway are we not all children of God? Hmm? Black, White, Latino, Jews, Catholics, aren’t we all the same hmm? Equally good and/or messed up? And does he not still love us? Right? Okay then what is up with all this shit? Whose to say that God didn’t one day and say, “hmmm there are many homeless children and over population and not enough food…hmmm I need to do something subtle to help this…a plague maybe? No no no…Moses isn’t there to make sure it goes well I know I will do this!” and thus it began---hey it’s a theory!
I don’t know like I said all of this is very scatter brained but it has it’s merit does it not? But in the end it lies on the individual does it not? Well all I can say that if I hadn’t met Peter I’d be bad off.
So SCREW ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT WOULD TAKE HIM FROM US!!…..I hope he’s enjoying Japan ^-^
