Well, I'm not a liberal so I think that it is a safe bet that I won't.

The community where I used to live was 30% Hispanic - but the elementary school was nearly 60% Hispanic kids. FACT: Hispanic immigrants have more children, at younger ages, then Caucasians. It is a FACT that it's culturally expected that Hispanic girls will be sexually active and/or married at a very young age.

Can you NOT see the connection?
So you are saying that it is a cultural issue. Why didn't you say so? That is one of the hardest things for a society to combat. I don't think that abstinence education can effectively override that. Though not a perfect solution, teaching about birth control would be more useful. (or better, teach both.)
