From my memory, (as a pupil at st James boys school from ?75 onwards), homosexuality was not directly mentioned much. But then again anything to do with sex was pretty much off the agenda for discussion. It was pretty clear to me though, that homosexuality was completely contrary to the SES ideology...

inquiry
No, I think there are plenty of ways to take it further. However they would all have a much more damaging effect on the Schools, and therefore the current pupils.

Claras post
Clara?s post is probably the most disturbing I?ve read yet. But somehow it doesn?t surprise me, as the root cause of this was the same as that which resulted in the excesses in the boys school: the SES ideas and ideals that all the teachers believed in, and the undemocratic and hierarchical organisa...
