A Pennsylvania school is approaching their problems by separating their students. The students are being taken away from the regular school population based on their race. This system although well intentioned, raises many concerns.
The message being sent to students, the community and the world is black children need special help. The problems the school district is trying to address are experienced throughout every demographic. It would seem a separation would be based on need, not color.
Bringing together students based situational criteria would be an opportunity for students and the community to learn about each other. Knowing different cultures have the same problems allows for understanding and creates harmony. Not to mention years of civil rights battles fought for integrated and fair school systems. What are your thoughts?
Huh? Pennsylvania High School Segregates Students by Race and Gender.
