Back To The Future: Toronto opens an all-black school, AAHZ denied admission

[Wezil]

Oh geez.

[Asher]

Where is it??

[Wezil]

Good question. I can find references to it but can't actually find the school...

[Wezil]

This is from a Star article:

The Toronto board already has a grade school and high school for First Nations students and an alternative high school for gay and lesbian teens.

They're probably thinking of Oasis Alternative Secondary School

It's a couple classrooms and grades 9 and 10 only. Apparently it's a block away from my work, but I couldn't tell because it's inside an existing building...this isn't a real school, it's a classroom for bullied gay teens to go.

That may be it. The TDSB website is **** so it is hard to really tell.

Let's take this to the theoretical then - Would you be opposed to the idea of a full fledged gay and lesbian high school? I saw in my google search that such schools do exist elsewhere.

Yes, I would -- I think the presence of a "safe" school for those who have been bullied extensively is good (like Toronto's Triangle program).

But I think segregating gay people from regular schools is a mistake. We all need to learn to live together, sending gays to a special school (voluntarily or not) sends a bad message to everyone.

[Wezil]

Your second point is my position on the issue on all fronts. We will not progress together when we divide into smaller groups. I oppose official multicult for the same reason.

The guy who invented peanut butter lived in the USA, didn't he? He studied in a Euroamerocentric college and didn't need a special school to learn about plants.

And AIDS was invented by a white man!

[snoopy369]

AIDS was invented by a Chinese spy working in the CIA, hoping to kill off in one blow:

1. The US Gay population, allowing China to more easily infiltrate Broadway.
2. Africans, ensuring that continent does not overtake China.

There are a lot of claims of "black inventions" by afrocentric historians (some of the most biased, racist scholars you can find and they usually have an agenda).

There is an excellent website that addresses these claims and refutes them.

Bill, is that you
