BostonGlobe: Latinos edge out blacks in school population in Boston's public schools

"In the district's annual student head count, Latinos accounted for 38.1 percent of all students, surpassing African-Americans, who comprise 37.9 percent of the student body, according to data posted on the state's education website. The change follows decades of steady growth among Latino students and more than 10 years of declines in the percentage of African-Americans, according to state enrollment data."

My comments: And Lou Dobbs wonders why Obama chose to announce his education plans at a Latino event?
