You've heard the rap I'm certain. The left has been taking swipes at Presidential candidate Texas governor Rick Perry about the sad state of public education in Texas. You've got the numbers bandied about. Things like Texas dragging at the bottom of state rankings lists for per-capita spending on K-12 education. Try to ignore for the moment that fact that throwing dollars at a school does not necessarily get you a better student at the end.
If you get a more astute observer you might get a discussion of Texas mediocre performance in graduation rates or student achievement or college readiness. Can we possibly be doing so poorly because of our governor? Can we be so dumb at the end and still host the best business climate in the nation? Maybe not.
Bang For Educational Buck Above Average
Don't you just love it when the Messiah's Secretary of Education and former Chicago crony comes off like an ill-advised dunce and the Texas cowboy seems to have been in charge of a state that's doing all right?

Ed, c'mon, you missed the most important line in the article.
"that it performs better than roughly three-quarters of states while spending less than roughly three-quarters of states."
Those highlighted words are blasphemous to this administration and therefore, Mr Perry must be destroyed as an apostate.
