Schools in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina, are taking a moment to reevaluate things.
According to WBTV, district superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison has taken steps to confront serious problems in the education system. Of the 22 task forces Morrison created, one is tasked with addressing recurring problems of the black male youth. In the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district during last year alone, 20,000 black males were given short-term suspensions while 3,000 white males were given the same punishment.
The discrepancy was one motivating for the task force to recommend the founding of a new, all male, all black school.
Proponents argue that such a school would be safer and foster greater empathy.
“The African American male wouldn’t have to argue over females,” says rising 9th grader George Whitley. “And we can just get along and relate to each other. We wouldn’t have to worry about insults and racism.”
However, the school may encounter some legal troubles. Mary McCray, chairperson of the school board, argues, “If we are going to have an all-black school, all male school then we must create an all female school because of Title IX.” On the one hand, an all-male school may alleviate some tension. On the other hand, the presence of girls may have a mollifying effect on adolescent boys.
This is to say nothing of the troubles of implementing a one-race school program when students of other races apply from the surrounding area. Some have raised concerns of a return to segregation.
The proposal is still being discussed.
That might be true too. I don’t know, but SOMETHING has to give!
No redeeming social value comes to mind.....
Jim Crow’s back only this time, he’s black. :)
i’m all for it - now they can beat, kill their own kind - it will be a regular thunderdome, getting all those ghetto gangs packed under one roof. Sounds like a genocide on a budget plan by the KKK. Geez.
Yep - that’s why all the black universities are pretty trashed - its not because of lack of funding. Its because thats their culture. I went to an all white school, beautiful facilities, top in the state. Then they started busing. In a few short years the place was trashed, grades plummetted, and police roamed the halls. Its not about race - its about culture and until they change their culture there will be no hope and change.

Essay by a teacher in a black high school

In Seattle, they set up an African-American Academy to supposedly address these same issues, yet the academic performance at that school remains well below the average for the district as a whole.
In a couple of years some “social justice warrior” will notice that all the kids getting in trouble at that school are...gasp.....black!!!! Cries of racism and much gnashing of teeth will ensue.

I doubt it. So far - no one but us conservatives - have noticed all the black kids getting murdered daily in inner city ghettos have been by ... gasp! ... other blacks.
A high school teacher told me he complemented a black boy who was doing extremely well. The other blacks beat him so severely he missed several days. When he came back he never performed again. I conclude that the greatest danger a black boy faces is other black boys.
The other structural problems would remain, but the fact that these two simple, obviously beneficial steps have not been taken, and probably never will, tells me the govt has no real interest in improving compulsory govt education.
I hope they allot 2-3 acres for a school cemetery.
and a large jail and court room in the basement

Who exactly do they think will want to teach in that school?
Navy Seals?
All male school is excellent. K-8 is not, however, necessary or particularly helpful. 9-12 is where the greatest value of one sex schools is made.
Racial segregation is an amazingly stupid idea. There is nothing to be gained by separating boys by race. The only outcome would be racial identification, increased ghettoization, cultural deprivation and a host of pathologies.
Enough with racial politics. We are one culture.
Let all schools be private so they can have a school just for left-handed, green-eyed midgets of the astrological sign of Scorpio if they want.
Yeah, I know. Dream on....

The colored school will have the best football and basket ball teams
Maybe, but the other schools will have cheerleaders.
