...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

A recently published report from the COC, the Dutch association for the integration of homosexuality, shows that attitudes towards homosexual teachers and pupils have worsened over the past few years. Many homosexual teachers and pupils are becoming increasingly isolated as a result of pestering, name-calling and even physical abuse.
Most school boards prefer to ignore the problem to avoid difficult discussions with pupils and parents. The problem is partly caused by the more conservative attitudes of the increasing number of immigrant children at Dutch high schools. The COC has called on the government to take measures to address the problem.
