CHARLOTTE, NC - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools may look at a new option in its effort to help African-American males succeed in the education system.

District superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison created 22 task forces to tackle a variety of issues the school district had to deal with.

One of those task force was tasked with ongoing issues dealing with African-American males in CMS.

The task force made several recommendations, including beginning a planning phase to open a K-12 African-American male school during the 2015-2016 school year. One black male student thinks that would be a great idea.

"The African American male wouldn't have to argue over females," Rising 9th grader George Whitley said. "And we can just get along and relate to each other."

Whitley also believes a new school with one gender and one race would be safer.

"We wouldn't have to worry about insults and racism." Whitley said.

Task Force Members believe black male students need to have a chance to succeed in the school system. They claim this new school would build leadership, business and academic skills for black male students.

Taxpayers say this school could teach black male students a good lesson.

"Growing up at a certain point," Taxpayer Vanessa Dixon said. "You have to stick together and know what it means to help each other."

CMS leaders are already saying this concept maybe against the law.

"If we are going to have an all black school - all male school," CMS school board chairperson Mary McCray said. "Then we must create an all female school because of Title nine." {snip}

Some people think this concept is racist and will return to segregation.

Segregation wasn’t a bad idea after all. Interesting. It’s this or the liberals (like Matt Damon) are just tryng to explain away why they don’t want THEIR kids in the same school as ghetto thugs. More likely the latter.

These educated “educators” do not have a clue why blacks are failing.

There is a school in St. Pete, Fl, a middle school, private, non profit, where girls and boys are segregated in classes. Students attend school 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, 11 months of the year.

Here’s a link:

Well, isn't it obvious? Of course it's whitey's fault.

Just watch for their spectacular performance improvements once they're in their own school. (Do I really even need a /sarcasm tag?)

The years I had in an all-boys prep school were easily the best years of my childhood.

Now THAT is racist-segregation, imposed or voluntary is bad for a civil society-look at how the muslims who wrap up in ethnic clothing and shun all others behave...

This is the worst part of it. It sounds mind-numbing.
“Students attend school 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, 11 months of the year.”

I’d still prefer to be around both sexes, but to each his own.

It is the length of time they spend in school that bothers me-my husband went to a snooty boarding school, and didn’t spend that much time there...

Just maybe if African American Males were instead called, American Negro's...some just might become better citizens because they are included not excluded with a hyphen. If you want to be called African, why not go live there, in some places it is a pretty nice country.

Oh I do not doubt for a minute if the school is established that all the students will graduate (with honors) and will immediately be accepted in some Ivy League college.

It is not the effort that counts but the results.

Oh, they do, but ID'ing the primary sources of the problem doesn't fit the narratives, or the politics.

Overall, integration has not been a positive for white kids. Sorry, but it’s true.

How can they possibly learn without sitting next to a white kid?
