Birmingham hosts conference on underachievement of white boys
Dozens of delegates attended a conference held at Birmingham’s NEC to discuss the rising problem of underachieving young white boys in UK’s schools.
The Raising the Achievement of White Working Class Pupils lectures and seminars focused on tackling the educational and racial divide present in classrooms.
Among the issues discussed was the possibility of young white males in Birmingham being at risk of being recruited by far-right organisations.
Karamat Iqbal, school effectiveness adviser for Birmingham City Council, was one of the guest speakers at the conference held at Birmingham’s NEC.
Mr Iqbal, who has written to two reports on the subject, said both white boys and white girls from less well-off back grounds are potentially at risk to the “negative attitudes” of extremists.
In one of his studies, Underachievement of White Disadvantaged Pupils in Birmingham, Mr Iqbal showed there was a correlation in a child from a white British working class background not attaining high grades at GCSE level and the voting patterns of the neighbourhood. Using figures from the 2004 local election, areas like Longbridge and Sheldon which had a higher percentage of votes for far-right parties, were the same communities suffering from low GCSE passes among white children.

"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."

Of course white boys and girls from “Diverse” neighborhoods have a tendency to be recruited by the right-wing. They have to live with the consequences of actions taken by people who praise multiculturalism, but don’t have to live with its direct effects.
Segaration is the only answer. A Euro-Centric school would be the answer to the issue here. After all black people have Afro-Centric Schools. Let’s face it “multi-cult” does not work. White people in general have been denied an ethinic identity for 40 plus years in the USA alone - and look at the results. Our people are lost and are lacking a sense of belonging, separated from their ancestors achivements and have been blamed for every wrong in the world! It is not rocket science to figure this out. We must secure the furture for our white children or face gencoide.
