I think that the idea that government should intervene in order to make adjustments per race/ religion/ ethnicity is an idea whose time is going and soon to be gone.

Good Riddance.

It is time for kids in school to sit still and pay attention.

What I see is NOT a matter of race, but a matter of discipline and cultural tradition. If your folks make you mind your teachers and make you understand that doing well in school is important to them and to you, then a better world follows. If your folks tolerate your absence from school, abusing your teachers, then blame them and take them to court, disintegration follows, and possibly that kind of disintegration does lead to segregation - of the self.

As the saying goes, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
