The Miami Herald quotes Roy Romer, former Colorado governor, "A poll presented at a National Council of La Raza meeting [2007] showed education ranks as the most important issue for Hispanic voters."
The article notes that a poll of 1000 interviewed Hispanic voters in the United States sponsored by Strong American Schools and the National Council of La Raza found that Hispanic voters consider education a more important issue than the other top four issues--war in Iraq, healthcare, jobs, and immigration. Their top education concerns were high drop out rates for Hispanic students and students not receiving enough support at school.
This information obviously dispels the myth that Hispanics don't care about education.
