We are moving towards being an even more culturally diverse country. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics 37%, or one out of every three students, are considered to be of a racial or ethnic minority background. By 2020, minority students will make up 44% of students enrolled in public schools; by 2050, 54% of that same population. Enrollment for minority students in both elementary and secondary public schools has increased 73% over the last 25 years, compared to 19% of white students (National Center for Educational Statistics [NCES], 2000). We are moving towards being an even more culturally diverse country. An while this fact cannot be denied, it is often ignored by many teacher education programs who, if they even value it at all, often view multicultural education as something to be taught in addition to proscribe curriculum that rarely, if ever, challenges the assumptions of the mostly white, middle-class, culturally isolated women who enter pre-service teaching programs.
