Well everyone agrees that comprehensive education didn't work because you can't treat everyone the exact same.Not all of us are equal all the time.So giving a helping hand to those who are failing to keep up could count as discrimination against those who are bright.Is that what you are saying?
So how do we take certain sections of our societies and provide them with the positive help they need?IF we can't pick them out because it is discrimination how can we help them? or do we just ignore the problem because to be seen to try and do anything about it is discrimination.Then the other side thinks that it is unfair that they don't get equal treatment.
Well yes young white teenage boys are also having a problem in education and have until recently been under achieving.Some thought has been given to helping them and hopefully things are inproving.However a small number of black teenage boys are STILL under achieving,do we just ignore it because to do anything positive is discrimination.
The problem is that it is impossible to discuss anything about racial matters anymore because it just becomes a litany of what is unfair for one group or another when it comes to positive discrimination.Frankly I think we have become too frightened by the race issue to actually solve any of the issues that affects each ethnic group.We tend to leave it to the individual groups to sort out themselves thinking it's none of our business.
Some will come back and bite us if we don't offer a positive discriminatory hand from time to time.Not all the time just once in a while.A recognition that a group is having a hard time.
