[B]Chicago plans high school for black males[/B]
CHICAGO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- The Chicago school district plans to open an all-boys high school primarily for black teenagers. The Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men must be approved by the Board of Education this month, the Chicago Tribune reported. Mayor Richard Daley plans to open 100 schools in the city in the next five years. Plans for the next two years include a virtual elementary school, a high school operated by the University of Chicago and a high school stressing business entrepreneurship. Urban Prep would be located inside Englewood High School. Backers say it is aimed at a group that has the lowest graduation rate of any in the city. "We're going to take our students where they are and help them gain admission to college and succeed once they are there," said Tim King, the founder of Urban Prep. "Clearly there is a high need for figuring out how to serve these kids academically."

This will most likely benefit both black males, and white people as a whole.

They'll probably funnel 5 times as much money into it as they would an ordinary high school.

Funny that we had to go through bussing and desegregation for the past 35 years to have a major city come to the conclusion that segregation [B]IS[/B] for the best.

Yes, they'll get a blank check. And, in 10 years of money-is-no object, SAT scores will hardly have budged.

Would their advanced students receive tutelage under Jesse Jackson?
