A school in Pennsylvania has instituted a plan where students are segregated by race and gender, explaining it is all about mentoring. The media reports this in a favorable light. Those with this idea and the students involved are African-American. The idea is being hailed as innovative and forward-thinking. Good for them.
In Raleigh, NC the Wake county school board is re-instituting a neighborhood school system so students won't have to spend hours on their daily bus rides to school. This has received negative national media attention and the board is being branded as segregationist and racist and, of course, the NAACP is involved.
Am I missing something here?
