Editors comment:
Everyone is supposed
to be equal in Britain, but some are now more equal than others.
blacks are among the more equal ones, with the government throwing money
at them, whilst white children, are denied the same privileges.
The background of
this article, is that blacks remain at the bottom of educational league tables,
and perform the worst in schools. The thinking behind the scheme, is that, if we give them privileges denied to
white students, then maybe they will improve
to the same standard as white pupils. This doesn't seem likely.
white
Europeans, are inventors of technology, arts, mechanics in fact almost
everything, black African nations, have yet to equal the achievement
of white Europeans.
However, I personally think, that Africans
can benefit from exposure to European culture, and when repatriated, those
blacks education in Britain will do much good in Africa.
It is though a bit
galling if you are white, to be excluded from the school trip, on the basis of your
race..

National Front have attacked this claiming it is in the interests of all pupils and if the Government are to preach equality, it can not be one-sided and exclude white-pupils, on the basis that they are well behaved and try and achieve more through education.
This kind of scheme in the past, has already come under attack by many groups which include the Young National Front. Money is already put into these schemes – The Equality and Human Rights Commission chairman Trevor Phillips has become ‘involved in a row with educationalists over his support for special lessons for struggling black pupils.
