there are lots of pregnant Hispanic teenagers. It's considerably higher here than in other cities. They did some research and found that Mexican families for religious reasons were very much against various forms of birth control. Those values were not lost on the kids even in this MTV fast food fueled generation.

So you go to LBJ or Travis HS, and then compare them to the highschools in Eanes. (the richer more suburban schools), and there is a marked difference.

This was a big issue here because some guy at a state agency said something to the effect that Latino families do not pass as much negative judgement on young ladies having babies, because of
- catholicism's stance on birth control
- general world view that children are great
- general experience of having children at a "young" age (where young is compared to their richer/whiter counterparts)

His statement caused a lot of controversy and discussion about generalized statements about Latino families.

Or you could keep trying to play devil's advocate and ignore evidence from social science.
