These people are idiots and an embarrassment to my profession.

There is only one race, the human race. Dividing people up according to the amount of melanin in their skin is a very bad idea.

Can mentoring help them in both attendance, grades and standardized testing?'" said McCaskey East Principal Bill Jimenez.

No, no, and no. What might help them is having a principal who understands that the word "both" is used to describe two things, not three.

Living up to MLK's "I have a dream" speech, are they? NOT!

I am so fed up with liberal racism. And then being accused of being racist because I'm a conservative.

It’s only racist if White people do it...

Democrats used to support segregation. I guess this shows they still do.

Sad to see that we've devolved to this in 60 years.

Don't send your kids to the government stockyards!

Funny - “separate but equal” used to have a sort of negative connotation...well, OK, it isn’t funny.

School Divides Students Based On Race, Gender

Outrageous...

[cherry]

its got to be about 90% white/caucasian....very few blacks there and I’ll bet not very many asians.....so what this is is a special class for a very, very small minority and the rest ....I’ll bet they decided to separate genders just to make their scheme look good.....

I like the idea and it has nothing to do with being a racist in any manner. Different people learn in different manners. It is obvious that boys learn in different manners than girls. The same applies to race. People right away want to scream racism but as long as equal amounts are spent each child, the subject material is the same and the test results improve then what the hell is your problem? It is all about the final grades that these children earn. These kids know that white people are different from black people and vise versa. Kids also know boys are different from girls. It is what it is and it has nothing to do with racial inequalities and becomes a racial issue when do gooders try to step in and force their liberal left wing opinions on people. I see nowhere that the kids complained and that is what it is all about educating children. As a master teacher i find it a inventive way to try to improve these children's learning process. Plus if you believe in self esteem it is wonderful idea.

What happens when the minority classes data begins to show underperformance?

That will kill this idea qucikly!

Did they have severe discipline problems? If so this would eliminate claims of gender bias or racism when the hammer came down.

BTW, I recall the de-segregation, and the way discipline was lost for years in the public schools. This addresses that.
