Can anyone tell me why this notion is not racist? Can non-black people go to this school?

Ostensibly, this is an effort to engage black students in school so they don't drop out. Its interesting that school boards are even ALLOWED to consider skin colour when collating data on dropout rates. Blacks don't drop out of school because of inferior intellect, and they don't drop out because we force them to study 'white' math, 'white' geography and 'white' reading. There might be the complaint that Canadian history is 'white' history but largely, it is. But isn't it still part of the curriculum? Should it not be?
I don’t know, it seems like segregation to me, even though its voluntary.
