    american teachers are overwhelmingly white (72%)

    That's a nationwide stat, but no way that number is that high in urban schools. In the districts with majority non-white students, the demographics of teachers are much closer to the student population. Administrators on the other hand..

    US partly responsible for some of the divergent outcomes between white and nonwhite students.

    I'm sure there's no economic or structural factors that contribute to this.

      This is wrong too. Chicago Public schools is 90% nonwhite. CPS is exactly 50% white teachers, 50% other. Even in extremely segregated urban districts white teachers predominate.

      The white teachers in more diverse areas are more often than not still incredibly racist and leave a lasting impact.

      Including when kids see them have much higher positions than the nonwhite teachers, like seniority and administration. Black teachers answering to white teachers with seniority and a white principal.

        You are 100% correct. In chicago's fringest northwest and south neighborhoods, the stereotype household is white woman teacher married to white man cop.
