[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If an applicant is gay they are gay..who cares. I do care if someone is recruited simply because their parents are gay. This says nothing about what kind of student someone is and school is about school not about who mom and dad or dad and dad want to sleep with. Our school actually has promotions just for who the families are. There is a special recruiting night. This is not a secret, it went out to materials to parents and parents were asked to see if they knew any gay families who wanted to come and attend our school. I sat back and thought shouldn't we then have divorced parents night or kids raised  by grandparents or adoptive parents night. Doesn't the list go on and on? Why is one group picked? That is where looks feels and is an agenda. I actually think it undermines the objective of just liking people for being good people. I don't really care who someone marries, it's hard to find love so whatever shape it takes so be it but again you shouldn't be celebrated for who you date/marry.[/quote]

Does the school go to the Black Student Fund School Fair? Moms' groups? Latino Student Fund Fair? Do they go to ABC events? Outreach to other geographic communities? Do you see that as 'celebrating' those populations, or do you see it as outreach to communities to broaden interest in the school? It seems the event you describe is just another outreach event. Look at the language of your school--do they talk about families, parents and guardians? Do they acknowledge different family structures in that way? Just because they are doing outreach doesn't mean they are 'recruiting', it means they are broadening the communities that might be interested in the school. [/quote]
