Earlier this week, Bud Kennedy of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote an article that got plenty of attention: For the first time, Hispanic children are the majority in Texas’ first-grade classrooms.
While it may be true that it’s the first time that fact holds for all of Texas, in the Dallas Independent School District, that has been true for many years. As a matter of fact, in 2007 first grade classrooms in DISD were 68% Hispanic. If we were going for a simple majority for Hispanic first graders, it would actually be a DECREASE for DISD. So that’s old news In DISD.
The real question? Well, where are the white kids? Follow me after the jump for two unbelievable graphs.
