KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (AP) -- For the first time, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.The changing demographics of American education are apparent inside Jane Cornell's summer school classroom, where giggling grade-schoolers mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language. The sign outside the classroom reads "Welcome" and "Bienvenidos" in polished handwriting.
Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But according to the National Center for Education Statistics, minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

Just another sign that the "open borders" quasi policy is on a path to overburden our systems...What say you?

I say that any attempt to determine or create a stir over who should be in schools based on ethnicity or country of origin is stupid beyond belief. I for one would rather they be in school as the cost of having them roam the streets with nothing but mischief and mayhem to consider is far more costly.
 
Overburdened with what? Are we distressed at the sheer number of kids in school, or are we simply distressed that the majority are no longer white?

If this is due to our border policy and illegal immigration then it needs to be addressed and the kids and parents sent back to their country of origin. Then we won't have to worry about them being on our streets causing nothing but mischief and mayhem...right?

The best way to take down a nation is not by power, force, military, or any of that kind of stuff, but rather by swamping it with more people that they have to take care of....Back in WWII, the Chinese had a plan to take over Russia. It basically consisted of having their troops surrender in droves to the point where the Russian system would be so overburdened that it collapsed, and China could take over without firing a shot...This is what the liberals, and bleeding hearts are doing with this open borders policy, and they know it...

We don't have any open border policy, hence your post is entirely full of dung. Adios!

No, it isn't racism. That is only the charge that will be thrown out there to distract, and stifle real discussion. Congratulations it took you less than 5 posts to muddy the water.

The US has always been a melting pot of races and cultures. That's not a bad thing. I fail to see how whites no longer being a "majority" is the end of the world. Nor do I see how it discredits open borders in any way.

So do tell me, were the Chinese and the Soviets (not the Russians if you know even a little bit of history) fighting during WWII? Who are the "Chinese" that you are speaking of? You do know that there were multiple Chinese factions other than just the Communists and the Nationalists, no?

I guess since I'm not white, I'm part of the problem. Down with America!
Edit: I also find it hilarious that people have always assumed America to be "white" as if they have an inkling on what that term meant a few decades ago

I say when those minority students are old enough to vote few of them will be voting for the GOP.

Wait and see.

It is not solely due to border policy, and we've had the most numerous deportations under this president. Add to that the fact that it was a Bush law that is the basis for the current crisis, one that is righteous and should continue. We are all descendents of immigrants, well unless you're native American, and I honestly don't know if mine immigrated legally or not, do you know for sure all your ancestors arrived legally? And even if they did, are you astute enough to recognize that these days legal immigration is a damn sight harder than it was for our ancestors.

Give up your hatred, you'll live longer.....

Gee, I never knew the US was supposed to be the United States of White America.

The GOP could change that if they wanted to and started in the near future, but they won't, they thrive on hatred of others, individually and collectively.

You've provided no examples of the overburdening of the educational system other than the fact that whites will soon be the minority. I'm just genuinely curious as to what burden you're actually referring to here.

Yes it has been a melting pot. Full of LEGAL immigrants that came to this country in hopes of assimilating into the American society and becoming Americans....Those coming now are neither legal, nor want to assimilate to America.

Real discussion? About what? How terrible it is that whites are no longer the dominant race in some areas? This whole thread is racially motivated and you're getting pissy because people are pointing it out?

Not everyone thinks America is reserved for whites only.

What a foolish post....Are you a legal American citizen? Then no.

The race and culture on top usually gets to set the direction things will go. If a bad culture assumes control there is reason for concern.

So now the AP is racially motivated?

So tell me, what was the name of that Chinese operation or were you just making up history to suit your political delusions?
I am set to enter one of the top boarding schools in the US in September, a school that boasted more than a 25% acceptance rate into the Ivy League. I guess I am a "burden" on the American educational system after all :shrug: (whatever the hell that means when you used that term)
 
Are you calling me racist?

Well, why do you care about what the racial composition of our schools is? Surely the quality and content of the education should be your concern.
