Why are Most Teacher's are Caucasian Teachers?


I remember the first day of class where we briefly spoke about the first to teach are white Caucasian women. When I thought about it, I think teachers are mostly white women because it is a tradition that past on from generations to generations. In the 1860's, the aftermath of the Civil War and during the 1960's Civil Rights movement, northern white women teachers went south to teach in black communities. Northern white women was the first public school teachers to teach black students "the American education". Another reason why are most teacher's are Caucasian teachers is because proper procedures to give to non-white women are not being set up better to protect against false allegations about teaching.
