If you didn't see this article last week about the state of the Texas education system, it's a must read.
Now, the Texas legislature is asking for millions of dollars from the federal government to help pay teachers' salaries. This is after our esteemed governor, Rick Perry, used $3 billion in federally marked education funds to help plug the sagging Texas budget. No wonder the federal government, and anyone else paying attention outside of Texas, is upset. We're asking other states to pay for our education system, to pay for our teachers. When the government offers Perry money, he refuses it if there's any small print saying he actually has to use that money for education.
Thank you, Rick Perry, for being the sleazy politician I always thought you were. It's good to be proven right on occasion. Unfortunately, our youth have to pay the price for this man's ineptitude and failure.
It's a very sad state of affairs.
