If by "Does this sound familiar" you mean does it sound like someone is trying to help a section of our society by ensuring that their socio/economic background does not interfere with them getting a good education then yes, it does sound familiar. If however you mean does it sound like they are trying to segregate young black males for racist or other sinister purposes then no, it doesn't. Don't go accusing the government of racism. they have enough real faults without people making more up!
