Black only, but don't use the `S' word; Children are thriving in
Afro-centric schools south of the border. Advocates argue that
progressive segregation is the only way to reach troubled African
American students.
"Public schools have failed African-American students, which is shown
in lower graduation rates and lower achievement," says education
professor Carol Lee of Northwestern University, founder of the Betty
Shabazz charter school in Chicago, whose three campuses boast 825
students from kindergarten to Grade 12.
"African-centric schools have sprung from the belief that
African-American students living in a society with a history of racism
and stereotypes need a form of socialization that provides them with
sociological buffers," [Carol Lee] said.
"Our point simply is we can view the world through the perspective
of the people of Africa. Africa is the mother of civilization."
"People call these schools racist as a tactic to keep the status
quo, but the status quo doesn't teach the whole diverse story," said
[Anthony Daniels]. "People can say public school curriculum is
multicultural, but it's not - it's a melting pot where cultures get
lost. We like the idea of a cultural salad bowl instead, where every
ingredient keeps its flavor."

But wait a minute. Busing was forced on students/families/school districts BECAUSE it was argued that black students could never get ahead in a society that SEGREGATED the school systems.

I hear they are opening a lot of Black only schools in Little Rock.
ReplyDeleteOh the sweet sweet irony. They have zero gang problems in their schools now that the Crips Community Organizing Committee runs the show.

I've been saying for weeks . . . no, months now . . . that much of what our resident Kenyan, Mr. Soetoro, does is tailored to his Africa-first agenda. It is the primary impetus for his wealth redistribution plans and his "empathy-capable" judiciary.
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever they do for an educational system, I hope our American Blacks keep using those great 'made up' names....That'll give'em plenty of real distinction............WV:mopities....Hey! There's one right there!

ReplyDeleteCleopatra was Macedonian Greek. While that hardly meant she was blonde and blue eyed she could not have been black.

Let the stupid racist blacks go off and join their little black-supremacy plantations.
ReplyDeleteThose left behind are better off without them.
Win-win.
Plenty of Afro-centric schools in ... well ... Africa.
ReplyDeleteYes Jim, but there are no rich white people to pay for it all.
