The 2014-2015 academic year marked the first year that American,
preK-12 public school enrollment became majority nonwhite, with
Hispanic/Latino as the largest minority. Population shifts have
continued to occur, with Latinos now representing 28% of public
school students. American public schools are in trouble, with
national achievement reaching new lows and progress for nearly
two-thirds of all 4th and 8th graders below proficiency levels and
stagnant for years. According to the Nation's Report Card, students
of color rank lowest, with Latinos and African Americans
consistently at the bottom. To understand the history of Latinos in
particular, The Story of Latinos and Education in American History
goes back in time to recreate the story. In this book, Dr.
Noboa-Rios relates the dark legacy before and after Plessy, as well
as the post-Brown challenges that linger. For a better and more
balanced future for the nation, America's challenge is to ensure
that Latino students excel. Understanding how and why this dark
history has occurred is imperative to rectify the situation.
