San Francisco school officials voted to expand programs for gay and lesbian students even though it faces a $113 million budget shortfall and massive layoffs.
The San Francisco Unified School District approved a resolution that guarantees funding for an anti-discrimination program. The estimated annual price tag — between $60,000 and $120,000.
The resolution will require schools to track harassment and discrimination of gays, provide cultural sensitivity training to staff and give parents educational materials.
Among the phrases deemed offensive – “That’s so gay.”
District officials argue that gay students are more likely than straight students to be bullied, attempt suicide or skip school. They were provided data showing 27 percent of gay students contemplated suicide.
“We get hate mail all the time from people who think we are the radical fringe for providing this support,” wrote board member Rachel Norton on her blog. According to her data, about 2,700 of the district’s middle school and high school students are gay and another 450 are transgender.
However, critics question whether the program is fiscally responsible given the district’s budget problems. School officials are preparing to layoff more than 900 workers – including 318 teachers.
The president of the United Educators of San Francisco told The Chronicle the layoffs are, “literally a decimation of the teaching force.”

Liberals are so gay…
As a 1947 graduate of Mission HS, I am appalled at this turn of events (although I will admit it probably was anything but sudden in coming to pass) within the city system. But then it is not the same SF as it was in the ’40s.
