The Census Bureau projects that by the year 2100, the U.S. minority population will become the majority with non-Hispanic whites making up only 40% of the U.S. population.

Kudos to Ted Kennedy.
Does the school district make public the performance scores of each school? Also, look up a Supreme Court case entitled “Plyler v. Doe.”
I don’t like Mexicans, or ANY Christians for that matter clogging up my school.
Academic achievement trumps ALL and everything, including “Diversity”
I could give a smelly Obama about cultural diversity at schools.
I do care about a real education in schools.
Which pretty much eliminates “diversity” bull-Obama.
The big majority of kids at the schools in this “lily-white” suburb are hispanic. I always laugh when the media uses that “lily white” term to describe a city with a bit higher percentage of minorities than the national average.
what?
whether one has ‘diversity’ or ‘community’ both are tyranny, the government is deciding where the child goes to school what they teach, what philosophy to life to conform to etc, both ‘diversity’ or ‘community’ public schools are tyranny.
Academic achievement?? We’re talking about PUBLIC schools here, where you get a “citizenship” award for showing up.
This is news? In large areas of the SouthWest hoh-hispanics (of all stripes) have been a minority for years.
Maybe you can sign your kids up for a foreign langugae class at the school - English....
Anything that detracts from the true reason of education, especially as important as grades 1-12 should be shunned. Parents need to wake up and take back the control of their schools which can be accomplished by getting rid of so-called administrators.
It’s not that I hate Christians, just wouldn’t want them to marry my daughter, you know what I mean?
I suggest a private school where 18K will get you a 50’s style education for your kids.
The minorities will STILL all be minorities, even as the number of “non-Hispanic” whites decrease to less than 50% of the population.
Do not sell the people of Northern European origin short. These people are the descendents of the most rapacious, bloodthirsty, cutthroat bunch of pirates and pillagers on the planet, and they have gone to every corner of the world, subjugating lesser human beings to their will, placing them in slavery, robbing them blind, and executing in huge numbers those who would not bow to their superiority and manifest destiny. Just because these people have “played nice” for a few generations, does not mean that the ruthless, cruel, and self-righteous nature will not once again resurface.
Cultural diversity in schools does not matter at all.
The only thing that matters is academic achievement and excellence.
Students who do not perform up to par should be left back and not promoted until they do learn.
The curriculum of all elementary schools should teach the fundamental basics to kids. Kindergarten is for creativity and fun such as drawing and coloring etc. In first grade, the real teaching should begin. The three r’s. Penmanship. History. Geography, Civics. Spelling. The simple stuff. Then with more advanced grades, simple algebra and the sciences etc.

Either you have a sick sense of sarcasm or you are a troll. (Joined 9/20/2009.) I highly suspect the second.
