re: #355 Obdicut

I didn’t make any sort of comparative argument. You did.

Why on earth you’re talking about economic growth when I’m talking about what’s being done to the science standards (the effects of which, you know, wouldn’t show up for awhile) I have no idea.

Why you called me a bigot for observing something true— even if you feel it’s a ‘nontroversy’ I have even less idea.

You’re swinging wildly. It’s kinda weird. Especially the ‘two-minute hate’ part. That’s a pretty shitty accusation to make.

Nothing stings so much as rebuke that hits its mark. I understand that many people are very hurt and offended when their reflexive prejudices against a given state or people are challenged, but that’s life.

Texas works; Texans work. If it were so lousy here, then why can’t we keep people from coming here from other states with allegedly superior educational systems?

And if you dig down, push aside the headlines and the events of the day of publication, has there been any demonstrable evidence of a lowering of standards here? Nope, not a bit of it.
