This simply isnt a racial issue, like the video said near the end its about exploring the issues that are making todays youth underachieve, black or white. There is already this subtle racial divide going on within toronto high schools and by opening a black focused school, that they say everyone can attend (yeah right btw, there is no way a white kid is gonna be truly welcome at that school) is only drawing further attention to the fact that not everybodys skin is the same. its going to be very interesting in a couple of years when statistics show if these types of schools are effective or not I am a high school student who goes to a school in Toronto and there is no reason what so ever that a black student cannot reach success within the toronto school board.

Just because it's a black-focused school, that's not gonna make them wake up from their bed and say "I WANNA GO TO SCHOOL TODAY! :D" No...It's just not solving the problem. If you don't wanna go to school, you DON'T wanna go to school, simple. So the solution is NOT, "Lets open up a black-focused school and maybe they'll wanna come". SOOOO MANY black students here in Toronto are against it, they hate the idea of it. Oh and the black population over here IS a part of mainstream society already. Toronto is SOOO mulitcultural, so whites aren't the majority anymore. People of other cultures have the same opportunities as everyone else. Same education, same job opportunities, same health care, etc. What the school board needs to do, is look at the other factors, like their home lives, to better understand what's causing the dropout rate.

I don't see how this will help anything either, because it's not just black students who need help. It's students of ALL RACES. They need to focus giving a better education to all the youth...not just one specific group. You’re welcome, lol.

Keeping a minorities seperate hasn't worked too well in the past - take a look at any native reserve in North America.

But I think people who oppose this are kinda crazy. First of all its not segregation because much like catholic high schools, gay/lesbian focus school and a native focus school that the TDSB ALREADY fund they will be considered public schools and anyone can attend. No one is forcing anyone to go to the new schools they are building, and the way the school board works is every resident has to have minimum 2 (mostly 3) schools in their boundaries too chose from. So just let the plan run its course and see what the results are. I actually live in a city next to Toronto and im done high school and go to college in Toronto.
