PITTSBURGH — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is claiming inequality in education between black and white students in Pittsburgh Public Schools.
The NAACP marched in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood before Monday night’s School Board meeting.
The NAACP calls the current education situation “apartheid education,” pointing to recent recommendations to close some city schools.
“We don’t even have a plan. Some consultants came forward with some recommendations based on the values of buildings, but there (are) no school closings planned. We are months away from bringing a plan forward, no less the board making decisions,” Superintendent Mark Roosevelt said.

So what is new in amerikkka these days.
After black people sitting back and letting themselves get even dumber
and even more slave minded living under these 21st century racist conditions.
What does the NAACP expect ? The civil rights movement is over with.
Black america needs to wake up and stop being tricked into selling their
souls for trinkets and material CON-sumer junk.
I agree. The true fight for equality isnt in trying to beat the other races in things like education. We need to improve America as Americans, not as African Americans or Anglo Americans.
As a white man who went through the public schools system I think it is all schools that are bad, why can’t there be a group who fights for all races and help deal with our schools, it is not just a black thing it is all race thing.
the NAACP needs to stick with college sports… sheesh.
You go girl!!
