 Click here to listen to Tony Sewell's story.
Tony Sewell, educationalist and former innner-city teacher.
Tony believes that peer group pressure and an 'anti-academic' street culture, rather than institutional racism, is the main cause of the underperformance of black schoolboys in Britain.
And the statistics are stark: black boys are three times more likely to be excluded from school than their white counterparts. Only ten percent gain five or more GCSEs.
Tony Sewell accuses the 'race relations industry' of fostering a destructive 'victim culture' amongst young black men. His critics say that he is turning a blind eye to racism.
