From the article:

“The Times story also suggests that by granting businesses tax deductions and incentives, states are forgoing revenue that might be better spent on education. And there is certainly an argument to be made that schools ought to be better funded (Texas’ public education system is especially pitiful).”

Actually, TX does pretty well, all things considered. Their test scores and graduation rates *by racial group* are in the top groups in the nation.

....Texas’ public education system is especially pitiful....

Bite me, you subway-slithering frotteur.

It's overloaded with about 10,000,000 children from Sinaloa, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Durango, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and Morelia. Studying for free, of course -- often indifferently, because Mexican culture puts more emphasis on children working to help the family than on academic success and persistence in pursuing college degrees.

Oh, and that's with lunches.

Meanwhile, there's a tiny, one-room school district in West Texas with 26 entire students. It's one of the best in Texas, and proud to be so.

When New York State's non-citizen service load is proportionate to Texas's, come back and write another article. Until then, F.O.
