And we are best in the world at educating blacks and Hispanics.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I remember in 2004 (I think) when people made fun of Texas because its high school test scores were lower than Wisconsin's.

But when you broke them down by white, black, and Hispanic, Texas' averages were higher for each ethnic group than Wisconsin. It's just that Texas has a much higher proportion of blacks and Hispanics, and that lowered the overall average.

So Texas' schools were, in fact, doing better-- especially with minorities.
