Well, for starters, girls have 49%, Latinos a whopping 73%, families earning less than $35,000 get only 43%, mothers without high school "degrees " are down to 28%, and special needs are trailing the pack with a quite frankly dismal 11%.

Couldn't be clearer, I'd say.

If you need to know percentage of what, well, that's just pedantry.

73% latinos...... and 49% girls.......?? that's 122%, no school could have 122% students. this trash bar graph would never hack it in the new york times.

Nah, it's a pretty decent economics writer trying to do political science. He should stick to his specialty.

I think I can see the tortured logic of that stupid chart: "Conservative liberalism" is economic or classical liberalism, so Stalinism - CL is the "Economic freedom" axis. "Progressive liberalism" is social or American liberalism, so replace the "Fascism - PL" axis with "Social freedom" or "Personal liberty"
