the idea, though appearing “racist” is to allow the black male youth to have little in school social relationship distractions to sideline them from focusing on the academics they need to be focused on
Thomas Sowell has written on his studies of education in the 1950s how the segregated all black schools in Washington D.C. had academic scores higher than the national averages, without knowing their education was “inferior” because no whites were in their classroom.
It would be wonderful if such an idea was not even considered necessary, but considering the MOTIVATION as racist is an error I believe. The only real concern should be what environment will be best for the students to focus on acadmeics above everything else.
Blacks get to have black pride, that ain’t racist.
Whites don’t get to have white pride, that’s racist.
Why can’t we have human pride. That would solve the pride problem in an equitable fashion.
(Actually, why can’t we give God equal glory for everybody? We ARE His images... even if some of them go on to choose to do bad things with themselves.)
