State defies U.S. rules on grading schools

The natives are not just restless; they are revolting. Gov. Bush's best-laid plans which he pushed Congress to enact on a federal level once he became 'preznit' have blown up in the inferior Texas schools' faces.

Public education as we know it today is more or less worse than useless. It serves as the backdrop for great athletic programs such as we have locally. That's it. The students are just props. And there aren't any jobs for which to train anyhow.

It may turn out the Mexicans, who have moved into and begun to take over this most-removed-from-the-border northeastern area of Texas in droves in the last 15 years, had the right idea. Drop out at age 12 and go to work. Of course, you then have to live 15 to the trailer the rest of your miserable lives, but everybody's got to live somewhere. Tell me they don't have "family values"? Crammed into their doublewides like sardines, they just can't help but be close.
