Oh wow… Remember earlier in the year there was a bit of an outcry about the Curro Foundation School? The school was blamed for separating white and black kids into separate classrooms…
They’re still at it, segregating kids left, right and centre.
Here’s a recent video of young pupils from Curro on a school camp. It is easy to distinguish that they are split into three groups, two of which are totally white, one of which is totally black.
After the February outcry, an “investigation determined that the Curro Foundation School segregated its Grade R pupils according to race after it was pressurised by white parents”.
The school has released a statement explaining the video, saying that “there was nothing racist about what happened”.
School spokeswoman Mari Lategan enlightens us:
The reason the children were separated was because of the classes they were in. The children were in the buses according to class. We are a dual-medium school and parents have made a choice as to whether their children be taught in Afrikaans or English. The Afrikaans children were in one bus and the English in the other.
A video taken of this outing showed the various groups of learners. And with no explanation people assumed that the groupings were organised according to race.
Hmmm. How convenient that they divide as neatly as the pieces of a chess board.
