Nearly 200 Black and Latino students at Evanston Township High School signed up this year for math classes and a writing seminar intended for students of the same race, taught by a teacher of color. These optional so-called affinity classes are designed to address the achievement gap by making students feel more comfortable in class, district leaders have said, particularly in Advanced Placement courses that historically have enrolled few Black and Latino students.
Wait a minute, Doc. Uh, are you telling me…that you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?

This is overt discrimination by race, grounds for a substantial class-action lawsuit with little chance for school district to prevail, expensive litigation and costly settlement charges, with Evanston taxpayers as the Big Losers.

I’ve said it before- nobody is forcing the education system to implement terrible policies. They are doing it to themselves. How many bad ideas do they have to force on children before people figure out that the education system and those who run it are the problem?

What a tragedy for these African American kids. When you stick them in a separate classroom like this everyone in the world assumes it is a bunch of underachievers. They are stigmatized from the start. It won’t take them long to figure it out either. What a horrible idea with– once again– with the kids bearing the burden of absurd policies by administrators.

Does this race-based action include the water fountains too? Just asking. I assume they doing it so the white and Asian kids wont get held back by classes having to constantly remediate backwards through the textbooks. Good idea.

It cost the Rockford taxpayers over $250M to reintegrate the the students in the school district because some thought the city was too segregated. Now back to segregation little by little.

This has been going on for several years. I will never understand why this hasn’t been covered by the Chicago media. Read the Stacy Deemar lawsuit involving District 65.

Years ago separate but equal was an educational institution norm. However the liberals decried that method and classroom integration followed. Should this program be a success then the blacks and liberals did a great injustice to the blacks with their integration goals of the past. Should it fail then the backers of the “IQs are determined by racial attributes” theory’s have considerable ammunition for their future battles. This is a definite watch to see the outcome and the ramifications thereof. Either way it goes I see losses ahead for the liberals on this one.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Hmm, underachieving students need to go to school with Chinese students.
Racism is racism anyway you color it.
Correct this is such poison on Evanstons part.
