One Step Back
The Toronto District School Board has decided to open an “Africentric” school next year and cities like Montreal and Halifax are now playing with the idea as well. For those who may not understand what an Africentric school is, it’s basically a black school. That’s right, this country is now looking to take a giant step back in the fight against racial segregation; the same fight that was fought and won decades ago. The school board in Toronto says that this was in response to a 40% drop out rate for that specific ethnic group.
I sure hope these damn school boards are doing their homework before they decide to separate people by the color of their skin. If they’re simply basing it on a single statistic like a drop out rate than they are making a fucking horrible mistake. What will this do to the next generation of youths? A decision such as the one made in Toronto tells everybody that it’s okay again to treat people differently according to their racial background.
