Its demeaning to them as a community and culture to not include their Canadian history in the curriculum.

You think opening one school in one community is anything more than servicing a special interest group? Please tell me you're joking.

amen..

on another note...I belive they haven't even come up with a curriculum for this school...how do they plan on changing/implementig it?

will there be Jamaican history, Trinidadian history, etc?? I think that's for the parents to help teach at home. But seriously if they wanted to, the school board could introduce an "African-canadian" history class. I had the choice to take "American HIstory", "European History" when I was in high school just like I could choose French or Spanish or German..Why not add that as an option? I'd like to see how many kids opt to take that course.

Also, who's going to teach at these schools?? BLACK teachers?? gimme a break. There are already a shortage of teachers let alone trying to find enough BLACK teachers who would WANT to teach at these schools.
