Latinos and School Vouchers: Testing the ‘‘Minority Support’’ Hypothesis n David L. Leal, The University of Texas at Austin Objectives. Voucher proponents, as well as some researchers, argue that minorities and individuals of relatively low socioeconomic status (SES) particularly favor school vouchers. Little work has specifically explored Latino attitudes, with the focus typically on African-American opinions. This article will therefore examine whether Latinos hold unique attitudes toward vouchers. Methods. Ordinal probit regression analysis of a recent national survey of Latinos, African Americans, and Anglos (non-Latino whites). Results. In the aggregate, Latinos and African Amer- icans are more likely than Anglos to support vouchers. The Latino population variable is statistically insignificant, however, while the African-American measure is significant and positive. When the aggregate Latino variable is disaggregated into four major Latino national-origin groups, Puerto Ricans are shown to hold uniquely favorable opinions about vouchers. In addition, there are no opinion differences by income and education. Conclusions. When Catholicism is taken into account, the voucher opinions of Latinos and Anglos are generally indistinct. This suggests that aggregate Latino support for vouchers may drop if Catholic affiliation further declines. This article examines Latino attitudes toward school vouchers. Although a number of scholars have argued that minority groups particularly support this controversial school-reform plan, little work has specifically explored Latino attitudes. Instead, the focus has been on African-American opinion, with Latinos either not studied at all or studied using surveys not specifically designed with this complex population in mind. This article will therefore examine Latino, African-American, and Anglo attitudes toward vouchers using a recent national survey primarily created to measure Latino policy and political opinions. Some efforts have been made at establishing minority, particularly Af- rican-American, attitudes toward vouchers, but these have been largely at the aggregate level. A poll by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in 2000 found African Americans eight percentage points more supportive of vouchers than was the general population (57 percent to 49 percent). The 1999 Phi Delta Kappa (PDK)/Gallup poll found that 68 percent of nonwhites supported vouchers, compared to overall support of 52 n Direct correspondence to David Leal, Department of Government, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712 h dleal@gov.utexas.edu i .
