KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) -- The cheerful sign outside Jane Cornell's summer school classroom in Pennsylvania's wealthiest county says "Welcome" and "Bienvenidos" in polished handwriting.
Inside, giggling grade-schoolers who mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language worked on storytelling with a tale about a crocodile going to the dentist. The children and their classroom at the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center, near both mushroom farms and the borough's bucolic red-brick downtown, are a subtle reminder of America's changing school demographics.
For the first time ever, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.
Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics says minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.
About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. "We can't talk about other people's children. These are our children," he said.

if you want to see who to blame for this look in the mirror and at your kids. Native Americans have fewer kids and marry too late in life. We haven’t even been replacing our existing numbers.
You can’t run a country without people and nature abhors a vacuum.
It’s schools overall, not just one.
I thought that was the liberal plan all along?
Look for America to become a larger version of Bolivia.
Demographics is certainly changing. Ethnic is less important that ethics, imho.
Sorry, if you want to place blame, place it in D.C. (and many/most States) who refuse to ENFORCE THE LAW re: illegals.
Your angst is ill placed.
Check the demographic stats.
Thanks to abortion, later marriages, fewer children and just Plain greed, the birth rates of native White Americans does not equal our death rates.
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania - in the lovely Pa. countryside midway between Philly and Lancaster County Amish country - it can’t happen here - but I guess it did....
Back when George Zimmerman was big news, Hispanics were lily white Klan members.
I don’t think many Asians will appreciate being called non-white either.
We won’t be going any where in outer space in the future. As a matter of fact if you want to see our future take a trip to any of the countries that are sending their citizens flooding over our so called “BORDER” That is our future, our childrens future it is called The Third World!
I’m close to Hollywood High School right smack in Hollywood CA. Never, ever saw a white kid there in 7 years. Every public school in Hollywood is pretty much 99% mexican. Last Christmas, the city council had a Christmas party and the entire block was like that. The only thing I know is that the private schools close to the studios were not affected.
Soon instead of being known for useless things like inventing cars, airplanes, space ships, refridgeration, microwaves, computers , cell phones, america will finally be known for creating important things like ball in a cup, and oversized hats
The sexual revolution ended this nation’s desire to reproduce.
SMASH THE PATRIARCHY was the mantra on the Left.
The institution of marriage is on the rocks.
Feminazis consider all male-female coitus to be “rape” and it is beneath a woman’s place in life to get pregnant, let alone give birth and RAISE a child.
Those from other walks of life (not exposed to liberal educracy) still reproduce like rabbits.
Idiocracy is here.
“A LARGE number of white kids are being home schooled and or sent to private school. I dont know why this is constantly missed in these type of stories. The implication is minorities are taking over, when what is really happening is that whites are fleeing public schools.”
I don’t know about your area, but here in NJ (which has roughly the same ethnic breakdown as the nation) whole towns that are “white” have student populations that are very Hispanic and Asian. Many of our private schools are closed (due to the huge taxes to keep the public school gravy train running), and the home-schooled population is a drop in the bucket.
There is no question that minorities are inheriting this country (”taking over” ignores the fact that it is being handed to them by a native population that won’t breed); anyone driving past schoolyards and playgrounds, or who has been to a maternity ward in the last twenty years, can see this. The 2040 projection for whites no longer being a majority in this country are absurd (probably based on 1950s birthrates), and this story demonstrates that. A huge number of our young people aren’t Anglos.
I’ve posted on other threads that this is the driving force behind our government’s trafficking of Hispanic children. The teachers’ unions that own the Democratic Party aren’t going to start laying off members to reflect the dwindling number of black and white American students, so they’ll import Aztecs and Incas to make up the numbers.
I was delighted to see a story where some of the recently-trafficked children were being housed in a vacant school; it spoke volumes...
I don’t care that there are minorities soon to be in the majority. What I do care about is that they’re naive and predominantly from liberal families, whether by choice or gibmedat syndrome. If the new America, as it may be, was conservative in their thinking, I couldn’t care less what their origin is, so long as it was legally obtained.
If the children are “our children” as Duncan boasts, then he can pay for their upbringing.
When will the republic be restored? How?
A lot of “Hispanics” look very Caucasian and you can’t even tell by their accents sometimes that they are “ethnic’ what ever that means.
The ones having the most babies are conservatives...the libs aren’t replacing themselves which is why they have been pushing for illegal immigration to try to swamp the more stable conservative populations.
That’s the dirty little secret Progessives don’t want you to know!
But they will be the ones who graduate.
