I decided not to post my own opinions on this initially, because I wasn't entirely sure how I felt. However, I feel increasingly strongly that ghettoisation is a bad thing. Imagine the outrage there would be if someone had suggested separate schools for those of Jewish origin, to stop them getting picked on by non-Jewish classmates and teachers?
I wholeheartedly believe that people should be able to go through school without coming in for flack over their sexuality, race or religion, but weeding out people who "can't fit in" is insidious, and who knows where it would end?
