Schools Told To Root Out "Institutional Racism"

Schools must root out institutional racism before they can succeed in carrying out a new legal duty to promote community cohesion, a senior adviser to the Government warned today.

Sir Keith Ajegbo, the author of a report on an inquiry into how to promote British values in schools, spoke out about the "shocking statistic" that black Afro-Caribbean boys were three times more likely to be permanently excluded from school than white youngsters.

Of course, it couldn't possibly be that more black Afro-Caribbean boys are excluded because they are simply naughtier children. To suggest such a thing is inexcusable to some. Well guess what: if I suggest such a thing, it does not mean I am a racist or that I hate black people. I am simply interested in the truth. The same goes for school headmasters who exclude black boys. The same "shocking statistics" also often show that Chinese and Japanese students do the best of all races at school. If school authorities are racist, why would this be the case? Why wouldn't white people be at the top with all other races languishing far below?

Logic has never been the PC Left's strong suit.
