For now, it appears that the opening of a new “gay” high school in the Chicago public system has been put on hold. But probably not for the reason you would think, or that I would have hoped for.

I first heard about the gay high school proposal in late September. I don’t know enough about it to say who first proposed it, and who’s been promoting it. Suffice to say that (of course) our honorable Mayor Daly had OK’d it. But for the rest, I’m not sure. I intend to find out more though.

Let me interrupt this blog for one moment to say a few words about Mayor Daly. First, he comes across as a total idiot. The guy cannot put a sentence together. (I’d really like the same media and Hollywood types who like to portray President Bush as a bumbling fool, to come listen to Daly and then work on him for awhile!). But beyond his incoherent speech, I really don’t know what kind of smarts he has. Could be very intelligent. But, my take on him with this issue, the gay high school, and other typically liberal items, is that he really doesn’t believe in them in his heart, but he takes the party line very time; never daring to say no to any liberal agenda item. And the reason that I can paint him this way is because of his speech. If he was slicker and smoother with his talk, he could fool people. But every time he opens his mouth, he betrays himself by fumbling through it. Kind of fun to watch in that regard.

Anyway, back to the gay high school thing.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the school would be approved and opening soon. Although now, it was being called the “Social Justice School”. A “place of refuge for all who feel threatened by society” for their lifestyles, beliefs or whatever. For those who are bullied or feel discriminated against (picture me trying to hold my lunch down as I’m hearing this). Obviously, the Social Justice tag was nothing but a smokescreen to help ram this through, with the backers thinking that it had a better chance at life than something called “gay”.

But now, it’s been announced that the whole idea has been tabled, at least for the time being. And the reason given, is that the Chicago gay organizations who evidently were the original proponents, are now offended that other groups may be able to take advantage of this. It seems they don’t want to share their refuge with anyone else. They want pure gay. No victims of bullies. No odd religious practitioners who feel threatened. No blacks or other minorities who might come there with discrimination concerns. Nope, just gay please!

I tell you, it’s just laughable at times to observe this stuff.…at least between the waves of nausea it gives me . Now the gays want to discriminate, and they want the tax payers to fund it. I guess that means we need a whole new school system structure, where every group can have their own special school of choice. Where will it all end? Probably with a special school just for straight, well adjusted, God-fearing, respectful, loving kids….but who would go there?
