Segregation... I thought we wanted integration and assimilation?

What is happening in the Toronto School Board is a perfect example of segregation in the 21st century. My friend Todd posted on his blog about this. Toronto District School Board trustees Tuesday night approved a contentious proposal for a black-focused school .

I totally thought it was a joke at first b/c i didn't think something like this would ever be allowed (this is the 2nd one in Canada - - which I was surprised to learn)

This is going to definitely lead to a snowball effect where other religious and cultural groups want their own school. This will lead to people not learning to work and live in an environment similar to the one they will have to be part of after graduation (and on evenings and weekends too). School is supposed to prepare students for the 'real world', and in the real world people from all over the world interact with each other on a daily basis.

And how can it be "argued that would be the equivalent of segregation" -- THIS IS SEGREGATION
