Obama's Position Unclear on Proposed Chicago High School for Gay Students

The Chicago school board is set to vote next week on a first-of-its-kind high school geared toward gay students -- but while the issue is unfolding in Barack Obama's backyard, the Illinois senator has yet to take a clear position on it.
The publicly funded school, called the Social Justice High School-Pride Campus, would serve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. It would be open to all students, but officials say it would be particularly suited to those facing harassment of bullying because of their orientation.
Asked repeatedly about the development, the Obama campaign eventually issued a one-sentence statement, and referred FOXNews.com to a bill Obama introduced last year supporting "positive behavior" instruction in schools.
