This chapter concludes with a poignant fact that between now and 2020, demographers forecast that in the United States the number of minorities (Afro-Americans, Asian Americans, Latino-Americans, and Native-Americans) will exceed the number of Caucasian- or Euro-Americans. Given this predicted demographic shift, what are the profound implications for school officials in the nation's public

schools when seeking to institute and maintain positive school-and-community relations?

a. Schools will continue to value ethnocentrism over diversity in its school-and-community relations.
b. Schools must learn to value and demonstrate diversity as a major outcome of its school-and-community relations program.
c. Schools are never to understand that its school-and-community relations must promote respectful relations with other sub-cultural communities and must prepare students to mature into a pluralistic society.
d. Schools in small rural, homogeneous settings are justified to never address the issue of celebrating diversity and the growing cultural heterogeneity of society at large.
