According to Bill Greaves, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgendered liaison from the City of Chicago's Commission on Human
Relations, as quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times, the school will provide
students with heroes and role models delivered through a standard
curriculum which will be augmented with stories highlighting GLBT
people.
The point is to provide a school open to kids from all parts of the
city with a safe, gay-friendly atmosphere aimed at serving GLBT
students who face higher rates of depression and, subsequently, tend
to drop out more because of intolerance and bullying in "regular"
schools.
