All these things are going to manifest themselves in the individuals by giving them specific values, skillsets, desires... whatever. If they feel that the education system as it is isn't working for them, I'd rather have them develop a different system unique to them rather than changing the one that seems to work well enough for most people.
So isn't being white an experience too? How about a school for the white experience?

In the end, we all have an experience...the human experience.
