Cultural Conflict Statistics
Although 68% of pupils in the nation’s 100 largest school districts are youths of color, approximately 87% of all teachers are white (National Center for Education Statistics, 1997, 2001).
Many researchers have speculated that cultural conflict precipitates school failure for students of color, particularly youths from low-income backgrounds (Byers & Byers,1972; Nieto, 1999, 2000; Gay, 2000).

Minority students represent the majority in all but two of the twenty-five major cities in the U.S.
40% of the students in today’s classrooms are nonwhite students.
Think about communicating across racial, social, cultural, or lines of unequal power.
