re: #228 Obdicut

Except, of course, educational standards aren’t fucked up here in Texas. Latino and Black students in the publics here supass those in Illinois, among other places.

And the bug-bear of theocracy in Texas is laughable on its face. Comparable to the fears of Obama’s secret muslim-ness.

As for the distinction between the state and its government and its people, well, that’s splitting the hair three ways, is it not? Or do you suppose the state is anything other than the expression of the collective will of its people?
