"It's a very fine line and it's getting finer every day," said Paula Danzinger, a licensed professional counselor who teaches counseling courses at William Paterson University in Wayne.
According to Danzinger, some students no longer attach a stigma to the word "gay." Children often do not associate the word with homosexuality -- the word may have replaced the word "lame" in the lexicon.
That might explain the prevalence of the word. But it still hurts students, especially those hiding their sexual orientation, Danzinger said, though it might not be taken as seriously as racially derisive words.
"Is this what would have been done if these had been racial slurs?" -

Paula R. Danzinger, an assistant professor of education and counseling at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, says if a school suggests holding your child back for reasons other than performance, such as maturity, you should get outside help. "While the schools are set up to assess these types of issues," she says, "they sometimes make mistakes and outside support is necessary for the parent to make an informed decision."
Danzinger is also a former elementary teacher, a licensed professional counselor, and a mother. She adds that a parent should take the time to gather all the pertinent facts and weigh the pros and cons. "Parents should not simply agree because the school says so," she says.
