After 11 years of reforms by Perry, Texas still ranks at the bottom of many educational indicators. Texas has the fewest percentage of adults with high school diplomas, compared to the other U.S. states.

Texas is also ranked low in high school graduation rate.

Texas is 49th in verbal SAT scores in the nation and 46th in average math SAT scores. Can we trust him to reform Washington?

No one cares about your inane stats.

Gardacil - no one cares
TTC - no one cares
Muslim connections - no one cares
Bilderberg attendance - no one cares
Bush connections - no one cares

seriously, seek help.

Texas also has a border with Mexico with a high illegal immigrant rate.

It looks like you posted to the wrong thread. This thread is about an article regarding the guy collecting unsubstantiated rumors about Rick Perry.

Unless, that is, you are admitting that what you area posting is more unsubstantiated half-truths about Perry, then I guess it would belong here.

OTherwise, you should go look for the thread discussing the Texas educational system — there were several posted where Obaam’s team lead by Arne Duncan were peddling similar stuff to what you are improperly posting in this thread.

Even the NYT knows that this line of attack is twaddle. Texas blacks outperform blacks in all other states; hispanics do better than hispanics in most other states; whites and Asians perform at the same level seen nationally for their demographic groups. In the government school system, there are over 2 million hispanics, many of whom are illegals. In fact, we may have more hispanics alone than Illinois has students.

Despite all of this, Texas is about average on the NAEP, and manages it with less expenditure than states with better demographics and higher expenditures. Go look at the data for WV, for example, if you know how to find it.

If Perry has a fault in education policy, it is that he hasn’t done enough to defund government education. Texas needs a tax credit bill to kill government schools.
