Black-only school proposal draws praise, criticism
toronto.ctv.ca
It was a charged atmosphere in a Toronto school on Monday night as educators, parents and students met for the second time to discuss the idea of schools designed especially for black students.
While some members of the community say it's the best way to keep more young blacks interested and engaged, others fear the concept is a dangerous throwback to the days of segregation.
The event began at 7 p.m. at Northview Heights Secondary School, at Finch Avenue and Bathurst Street.
The debate was heated at the first meeting last Thursday night at North Albion Collegiate.
One mother strongly against the concept was escorted out after an outburst.
"We don't have to go back to segregation," the woman shouted. "Come up with something else. The kids are failing school, but come up with something else."
Opponents argue the idea would segregate students, while supporters say an "African-centred alternative school" would lower the dropout rate of young black males.
But the proposal also has supporters, including one parent who said it would be a step forward from the current system, which she says alienates many black students.

If this occurs then there is nothing stopping each tone of person from asking for their own school and being right in doing so.
This is an insane idea.
