Yeah, it is. 'Course, Xavier's was also a high school, so you can imagine the kind of pressure put on people with powers like that.
Sad but true. The teachers at the school told us not to think about it too hard, but when they come up with a "cure" for us like we're some kind of disease, and then didn't bat an eyelash when Captain America demonstrated his power...well, it was on a lot of minds.
