7 in 10 Hispanics go to college & I bet everyone of them will hear about the Heritage Foundation

Hispanic Grads More Likely to Enroll in College Than Whites

It turns out that nearly seven in 10 Hispanic high school graduates from the class of 2012 enrolled in college in the fall, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Census data. That's two percentage points higher than the rate among whites, and six percentage points higher than the rate among blacks.

that their overall college experience will provide a sufficient counterweight to any attempted RW indoctrination on the part of the Heritage Foundation et al.

While Hispanic high school graduates enroll in college at a high rate, and while the rate at which Hispanic students drop out of high school has been declining, Hispanics still drop out of high school, and thus don't graduate, at a higher rate than any other group. Work still needs to be done.

I read the article and saw no reference to the Heritage Foundation - what did I miss? *non-snark*

will graduate this fall (he had to go an extra semester because he switched majors) he will have his bachelors in finance.

My daughter has her bachelor degree in accounting and her Masters in accounting with an emphasis on finance.

They're as Liberal as they come and very outspoken.

My son has had quite a few conservative professors didn't change his mind on anything.
