What they don't say in the story is that among white non hispanics it
actually dropped almost 50% (86-44) 1990-2006

The message must have worked for the kids of the folks spreading it. I
suppose that is just an indication of how out of tough the right is

Leaping to racially based conclusions? I'm shocked.

Looks like it dropped by about the same percentage for non-whites, too.
