My guess? Standardized tests revealed that the black children were performing below the whites, hence the tutoring exclusion.
My school did something similar; tutoring only available for students who qualified for free or reduced lunch.
And when an entire subgroup falls behind, then there needs to be a hard look at the reasons for that problem.

White students will be able to attend, nobody is being discriminated against, minorities are not being prejudiced...calm down.

In my opinion, tutoring should be open to ALL

I'm gonna get flamed for saying this butI stongly believe that the problem is mostly genetic. It seems as though just about every Country has this gap. Unfortunately it's not PC to even hint about that probability.
Note i say mostly.

I'm guessing some of you missed the part where i stated "mostly". Meaning that there are other variables.

Im sorry to tell you this but the idea that there is no such thing as race is some ultra neo-PC crap.
See its just PC crap you are spewing, and this quote is proof of that. Notice how its okay for THEM to use race but anyone that sees race needs to "re-evaluate their critical thinking skills"? Another glaring example of politically correct double standards.
