Ever heard of Summerhill School in the UK, the original "free" school, started by A.S. Neill? I read a book written by a guy who was the hostel master there for over a decade. The whole point of Summerhill is that the kids make up their own rules on most things, choose if they want to go to lessons, etc.
The book noted that there were extremely robust heterosexual conventions among these kids, there is a regular dating ritual at the school. And it's between boys and girls.
The writer says that – in the history of the school, to the best of his knowledge – they've never had a single student who opted to be gay. He said that one girl became a lesbian, some years after she left the school, but that was it, to his knowledge.
I actually found this whole story difficult to believe, but I subsequently met the guy who wrote this book, and quizzed him, and without any hesitation, he confirmed this complete absence of gay behaviour at the school.
Kids, if they are left to their own resources, find a very deep bedrock of perfectly normal heterosexual energy within themselves, which they use to structure their interactions. And they don't like having this structure messed with.
A.S. Neill commented, in his own book on Summerhill, that people could say what they liked about his methods, but noted that not one single kid at the school had acne.
I confirmed this fact with the hostel teacher. No acne. No homosexual behaviour. That's what happens under freedom. I find this fascinating. The book was published about 15 years ago, things may have changed since then, but it's still interesting.
I don't want to identify the book or the teacher involved, but I did check this out at first hand. Don't tell the LGBTQQIP2SAA brigade, they'll be furious. They can never work out what "Q" stands for, incidentally – "queer" for some, "querying" for others. There's a difference.
I just believe in privacy, this is why it's called a "private life". If you insist on splattering the perversions of your supposedly private life in people's faces, and in the faces of kids, then you don't deserve any protection at all and you are grievously abusing the privilege of privacy. Leave those kids alone, they'll work things out for themselves.
