Young black teenage boys are seriously underachieving and it is an issue that needs to be addressed.Some of these boys have no positive male role model to influence them and for some of them an absent father is the only example they have of a black male in their lives.There are too few teachers who are black let alone male ones.So I don't think that the gentleman concerned is mad and the commission have most definitely not lost the plot.
IF young black teenage boys continue to leave school with as few qualifications that some do at present we will end up with a vast proportion of disaffected young black men.Not trying to stereotype but I can see how that might lead to serious problems in the areas that they live in.A state of no hope already exists in some inner city areas in this country.A good education that leads to a good job with a reasonable income is what we all aspire to.Some youngsters in the black communities are not buying into this however and it can only lead to trouble for society in the wrong run.

I see, and somewhat agree with the idea if a group is not performing and it will help them to improve.
However, think what a fuss we would see if for instance it was quoted as "White boys to be seperated etc etc etc"
I wonder how much fuss the people who shout about racial equality would make about it!
The whole situation would be deemed racist if it was reversed.
