I hope things get better than they were when I was in school.

Vote Yes and stop the homophobia in schools! Look at the poll on this page.

Voted in the poll (because we all should), but what an innovatively stupid question.

"Should schools put up gay posters and rainbow stickers to show support for homosexual students?"

No, schools should create a safe environment for all students and condemn violence of any kind. We can decorate later.

LOL, jordan, well it IS a kind of loaded question. Like: "Do you approve the proposed law to alter the Constitution to establish the Commonwealth of Australia as a republic with the Queen and Governor-General being replaced by a President appointed by a two-thirds majority of the Members of the Commonwealth Parliament?" instead of "Do you think Australia should become a Republic."

This article is rubbish. How is exactly school bullying being addressed?
I haven't seen any immediate expulsions or any prosecution involving the police.
That is the only way to deal with the scumbags of the earth

Whilst I think it is great that the government is thinking about this, I don’t have much faith. This has already been reported in the Herald Sun and then the 1st letter they publish about it is a letter that argues that homosexuality is a choice (don’t worry I rang up the author of the letter and abused his wife).

What hope have we got when we have to compete with the (somewhat) powerful homophobic media. It does my head in that you quote the Herald Sun at times.

I agree with the first comment, most schools in Sydney are all boys and don't seem to be the best place for a gay student...
