Backward thinking at its finest

I must have missed something in this article; is this guy actually promoting what I think? If so, what a joke of a concept.

Toronto is incredibly diverse, so why is this problem affecting only the students in the Black community? Why not the sizable Asian community here? Why not the South American community?

Maybe I'm just a dinosaur who is "out of the loop", but I can't see how this is an argument that holds water. The quote about the Guidance Councellors is laughable in it's stupidity [i][b]"Everyone knows a lot of guidance counsellors are biased against black students. They need better training."[/i][/b]

Some enlightenment please....

I love stuff like this!
So they want separate (but hopefully equal) "Black" schools that concentrate on "Black thought"?
Mmmmm'kay...
What's next, separate drinking fountains and restrooms?

Any calculations eight6 as to when Godwin's Law is expected

I think there should be a new one called "Jimbo's law".

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability that Jimbo will acuse one of the participants of distorting facts or using epithets of fascist, racist or homophobia to silence discourse.

Except in Jimbo's Law, Jimbo is the one getting called a fascist, racist or homophobic. [}:)]

I do have a solution.
It's called go to school, study hard and stop blaming others for your own failures. I have a feeling that option has yet to be throughl

This is nuts! Too few classes on black thought?!!!!! Zero tollerance code that hits blacks hardest?!!!!!! What kind of rule or law hits blacks more than anyone else?

Point 1: Interesting. Fabrications and agendas. In your opinion, what's the agenda?

Point 2: Perhaps there is. You choose not to believe it.

Point 4: Even if they are just geting a HS dimploma, it's far better than dropping out. At least with a
