Abstract

Seen in America’s schools and elsewhere, the United States is experiencing a dramatic change in demographics. The national population, which was approximately 300 million in the year 2005, is expected to be more than 360 million by the year 2030 (Doorn and Schumm, 2013). As a result, the United States has experienced, and will continue to experience, a profound increase in racial and ethnic diversity.
