Abstract
This study examined social workers' view on cultural competence and the disproportionate rates of African American children in foster care. This study seeks to explain how cultural biases affecting social workers' decisions contribute to the removal of children from their families based on social worker's inability to understand or recognize cultural differences in child rearing practices.
