12. actually i am going to agree with the school on this one

while queer is a reclaimed word for those who are young and comfortable w.their sexual orientation, it can and has been used as a perjorative for many years. imagine that you are not out and somewhat is hurling that word at you. highschool parents/teachers want you to be safe. college is more the place you go to, to break boundaries and create you own identities etc.

in a mostly under-18 crowd, where very few understand the implication of QUEER, in my opinion if the school banned it, its not a bad thing.
