Pesky Civil Rights Laws Blocking My Plans For All-Black Boys Schools

I wish that the ACLU sued governmental agencies for providing an inadequate and inequitable public education instead of focusing on segregation and discrimination protections that don't, alas, seem to have gotten schools where they need to go in the past 40 years or so.  But I'm told the Constitution doesn't work that way.  My plans for a chain of all-black boys schools will have to wait, I guess. 

Meanwhile, the folks at Learning Matters first reported on an accidental experiment single-sex education in 2003 on the PBS NewsHour, and then updated the story a couple of years ago -- with a surprise ending:

Part 2 is here.  Now you know how education decisions really get made.

Just as I am an advocate of single gender education, I also advocate all boys' schools for Black males, and for Black children in general. There are merits culturally to such schools. I also blogged re: a movement in Toronto, CA and its petition to create Afro-centric schools.
