The Policy of Separate But Equal:
Separate But Equal!
The policy of 'Separate but Equal' that was imposed upon Blacks in the US southern states, did not work in the interest of the nation in the 1960's and hitherto. It did not work under Apartheid in South Africa, and it will not work in the interest of Britain today either!
Be warned whenever you hear this view coming from our educators, or government, that separating children (male or female) in our schools will benefit that particular gender or group, because they cannot cope with the rest. This policy is racist, bigoted, clandestinely evil, and has some undertones that says you are inferior to us!
Historically, the Whites have always felt that Blacks or those they have conquered is inferior to them. That is what was used, and is still subtly used today in schools and colleges around the world, that is governed or controlled by this group of people. Black boys in Britain are no different from Black boys in America or elsewhere.
Social science and group studies have found that given the same opportunity, the same access to reading materials & other aids that assist favorably in the teaching and learning processes, with equally trained and skilled teachers. All boys and girls have the same chance of success. That has been proven time and again in schools/classrooms world wide, to be very effective.
I say vehemently, that the suggestion to train or educate Black boys, (another stereotypical and racist view separately), is not in the interest of educational equality, intellectual competence or national academic excellence. This policy is in itself saying that Blacks need special attention and care, in order to learn, because they are intellectually challenged!
Let us not forget that apartheid is not dead, it is still very much alive and well. And is growing in subtlety all over the world (both East and West), within the Christian right, and Islamic fundamentalist movements.
Om Shanti.
