Texas is 49th in verbal SAT scores in the nation and 46th in average math SAT scores. Can we trust him to reform Washington?
I don’t think your numbers are correct and YES we can trust him to reform Washington! That is precisely WHY the Washington establishment is SO very afraid of him!
Perry’s first selections to the Texas Supreme Court was the appointment of Xavier Rodriguez to succeed Greg Abbott. Rodriguez was a self-proclaimed RINO leftist! Can We Trust Perry With The U.S. Supreme Court?
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.

Our high school graduate level is related to the inner cities and the border. When you look at the figures, it’s like two States, one with high graduation levels and conservative local leadership, and one with dems in charge and a transient population.
Education results are almost without exception a reflection of the demographics of a state or locality, regardless of funding or policy.
That is your uncomfortable, non-PC factoid of the day.
