MS>SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM SPARKS RACIAL DISTURBANCE
This appears to be some kind of article, but I'm not sure
from whence it comes, or where your comments begin and the
article's end?
MS>Racial tensions that began over a student's swastika tattoo
MS>grew later in the morning (6/4) as a result of an "African-American
MS>heritage assembly" in which black students were encouraged to
MS>participate in the exclusion of white students.
I'm not sure I follow this... Do we mean "TO the exclusion",
or did the assembly encourage that white students were to
be excluded from the lives of black students, or....?
If it was a "black only" assembly, it's a tough call; is it
better to drag white students to an assembly for which they
may have little interest, or to divide the school community
arbitrarily, or does it even make any sense to set a
precedent for white-only, black-only, asian-only, jewish-
only, etc, assemblies?
MS>The official school-district press statement made no mention
MS>of racial tensions as a cause of the riot, but students did.
This suggests that at least SOME of this is not from a news
article?
MS>How stupid can a big-city public school system be as to have
MS>assemblies encouraging racial division in a school system where
MS>racial disturbances have happened for two decades?
Good intentions often go awry; we see it happen in education
all too often....
