- ......and there is a limit to how much we are going to punish those that succeed or try to succeed. I again ask the question; "What do you do with with the loser/trouble maker if they don't succeed in an afrocentric school?" Throw him back into mainstream where it now becomes society/whiteys problem......+
- John Oakley: It takes a village idiot to propose an Afro-centric school
-
Of all the well-intentioned ideas floated by our social engineers, Afro-centric schools in Toronto cop the prize for being the most misguided. Setting up Black-focused schools in order to set up Black students for success makes as much sense as saying not failing a kid will ensure they’ll never be a failure. It’s flawed logic, doomed from the outset. Besides, it misses the real point. The tall foreheads behind the proposal believe that the role of sparking a kid’s intellectual curiosity and getting them engaged in higher learning defaults to the educators who suddenly have to re-invent the wheel because the old-fashioned one wasn’t rolling along for some students. Isn’t that one of the priorities of parenthood, since time immemorial; a prerequisite for ensuring survival or success throughout all of nature? Show me a home that fails to place a premium on the value of education and I’ll show you a failure. Only in a nanny state, where it takes a village to raise a child, do we expect the “education system” to take on even the minimal responsibilities of mom and dad. And now we’re taking our cues from the village idiots.
John Oakley can be heard from 5:45 a.m.-10 a.m. EST Monday to Friday on AM 640 Toronto Radio
