Black Only Schools Proposed

[bluecuracao]

Some parents say an African-centred school with black teachers and role models would help black youths graduate and succeed.

The school board's proposal calls for a school from junior kindergarten to Grade 8 that would have more black teachers, mentors and a stronger focus on students' heritage.

The school would teach the Ontario curriculum and have more parent involvement.

As long as it really isn't black only--kids aren't forced to go, and it's open to everyone--I don't think it's an insane idea. It would be an opportunity for kids to learn from a non-Euro-centric perspective.

Edit: Like what Clod said in her 2nd paragraph.
