Premier Dalton McGuinty says the governing Liberals "won't hesitate to act" if other school boards follow Toronto's lead and start up black-focused schools.
  
McGuinty says he'll be watching what happens in Toronto very closely after the public board narrowly voted to establish one of Canada's first black-focused schools.
  
He said the idea of a separate, black-focused school runs contrary to the Liberal vision of education.
  
If the province starts to see a trend develop in other cities like Ottawa, Windsor and Thunder Bay, McGuinty said the Liberals won't hesitate to take action.
  
He said he's less concerned with the idea of a black-focused school if it is housed within an existing public school.
  
McGuinty said at least then, students of all races can mingle together in the hallways, which would be more reflective of Ontario society.
