When you invite only black students on a field trip to visit a black Rocket Scientist, you are really stupid.
When you 'discuss' the negative reactions of those not invited when the students returned to class in a way described as 'yelling', you are really stupid.
Why do so many obviously ignorant people achieve positions where they can make such monumentally stupid decisions?
If all of the students went on this trip, they would all learn that a black student can achieve a respectable, well paid position by applying him/her self.
It is great that the school is trying to help minority students after 'seeing achievement results' for the school, but starting a program called AA Lunch Bunch and having other students seeing them get special attention irrespective of individual achievement is a mistake.
I think that this Principal needs to take some Racial Sensitivity training.
If he had only asked himself: "How would people react if I did this for White students?" he would have seen the problem.
On a side note; I tried to Google AA lunch bunch and got hits for Alcoholics Anonymous groups.
