The changing face of America's youth

CNN.com recently ran a story that pointed out that in ten states across the country - including Maryland - white children are now in the minority compared with peers from other racial and ethnic groups. At the same time, we are seeing an erosion of public support for education funding. What do MCPS educators and Montgomery County residents think? Is there a correlation? As the CNN story pointed out "It's in everyone's interest that these diverse young people succeed, because they will serve as a backbone of the national economy and will support social programs older Americans rely upon, such as Social Security." But is public support for public education eroding because our schools' children no longer look like their own?
