Abstract
Migration within and across nation-states is a worldwide phenomenon. The movement of peoples across national boundaries is as old as the nation-state itself. However, never before in the history of the world has the movement of diverse racial, cultural, ethnic, religious, and language groups within and across nation-states been as numerous and rapid or raised such complex and difficult questions about citizenship, human rights , democracy , and education. Many worldwide trends and developments are challenging the notion of educating students to function in one nation-state. These trends include the ways in which people are moving back and forth across national borders, the rights of movement permitted by the European Union , and the rights codified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .

The riots in France in 2005 indicated that many Arab and Muslin youths have a difficult time attaining a French identity and believe that most White French citizens do not view them as French. On November 7, 2005, a group of young Arab males in France were interviewed on PBS, the public television in the United States. One of the young men said, “I have French papers but when I go to the police station they treat me like I am not French.”
