 Sigh, stop it, Walter, you are deliberately being obtuse. Think about the children called "brilliant" who are white and the elite parents want them to have a better education and not be "held back" by all of those masses who are "dumbing down" the system for you and your friends and name the program a high school exceptional ability program. suddenly it makes sense, huh? half of those classes take place outside of the normal high school, it just isn't advertised.

Are those kids being treated equally? Its our tax dollars educating them. How come they get the special program? They want it? No, I've talked to them, they have to take them or their parents cut them off. So, they get a much better education at our expense.

The black community recognizes that they have some unique factors that need to be addressed in an educational system that addresses those factors. Education needs to be conducted in an atmosphere conducive to promoting the best possible outcome. Fair? At some point someone will know what that means. Until then each community fights for what they think is fairest for themselves.
