Do college-level African Studies programs churn out people who are unprepared for the real world?
In no way does one class compair to an entire school.
Strawman.

You can't solve all problems at once, and the problem of other people stereotyping these kids is obviously pretty low on the list for this community: their goal right now is just getting the kids to attend class and graduate at all. Before they can prepare them for the diversity of the real world, they have to ensure that they actually end up in the real world instead of, say, prison.
Wow, so racist I don't know where to start.
Others stereotyping the kids leads to a black only school for their pride and dropping out?
In poor white only schools they have problems with drop-out rates as well... it is about the culture not the tone of their skin.
How about separate bathrooms and pride fountains?
Would that help too?

Yes, but what if black students drop out for a combination of the overall poor culture and a rejection of euro-centric material? If this could help a little it might have some potential.

Now that is a strawman....

I'm not exactly sure but I have a friend that went to a magnet school and he absolutely hated it. He may have just gone to a really bad one too. I'll ask him more about it if you want?
