Africentric
Watched the presentations and some of the debate at the TDSB concerning the 'africentric' school proposal. Fascinating enough that I even missed House Hunters.
A lot of passion on both sides. Lorraine Small is a wonderful person.
Note to Brad Davis - the country has far too many lawyers and not enough honest tradespeople who can work with their hands. (in fact they should earn far more than a lawyer)
If the board has something that will work, that will keep the kids in school and become happy and productive members of society I hope they are successful. It will probably take many small steps and a lot of time.
But I don't know if Nigeria, Congo, Uganda, Rawanda, Liberia, or Kenya are the right examples to teach.
The Board is not going to solve poverty or replace parents so they shouldn't expect to change the world and I hope they and the black community understand that.
Unless those overly good intentioned white trustees are kept away the effort will get screwed up.
