The "problem" is that white parent move their children to "white" schools. There is freedom of choice. Most middle class black parents are doing the same thing by the way. So the result is a inner-city “black” school.<br /><br />But the crackdown today is on Muslin schools. The problem with this interview is that they are talking about black schools in general, but are referring to Muslim schools in particular.<br /><br />And Italy. Yes, that’s real segregation. In the Netherlands they are trying to solve the language problem with extra funding, based on the educational background of the parents. <br /><br />The tragic part is that so-called black schools are therefore funded heavily, but sometimes perform poorly in terms of educational results. <br /><br />It is interesting to note that one of the low performance schools in the Netherlands is a ‘white” school.Afro-Europehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824302981015575893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-28973957126858163152010-02-17T11:04:27.794+01:002010-02-17T11:04:27.794+01:00The Italian government is trying to do the same in...The Italian government is trying to do the same in Italy: they want to segregate the children in primary schools. At the moment the excuse they are using is that some 'foreign' children come to Italy without knowing the language and this is a set back on the 'native' Italians. But I wonder "do they classify 'native' Italians the children born in Italy from another ethnicity?" Thus this might become race segregation in schools. I really hope there is a chance to undone this new laws.Ohima is ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12686029593662600371noreply@blogger.com
