Some bits:

"Opening one school does not address the problem across the system ... (where) a significant number of students of African descent are not doing well in our schools," said board superintendent Christopher Usih, one of the report's authors.

"We have a responsibility to address the needs across the system. We see the Africentric school request as part of a bigger (plan) ... to effectively close the gap."
Children at the camp learn about African achievements – including the fact Africa had a university long before Europe – as well as read African-Canadian authors and study math using the numerical patterns of royal "kente" cloth from Ghana.
"It's not a segregated school. Anyone can attend," she said. "It's become a racial issue. It's become divisive."
Right, I predict that lots of non-black Canadians are going to send their kids to a school where they focus on teaching about how great African civilizations like Timbuktu, Nubia or ancient Zimbabwe were and where they stress that at the same time Europeans were scratching their backends with sticks. I have no idea how, but I'm sure that learning about obscure civilizations on a continent that even most black kids have never visited is going a long way to improve education.

Anybody else think this is a bad idea?
