Rick Perry prevailed upon Republicans to withdraw their children from the state's elementary and secondary public schools while giving a keynote address to a group of Texas conservative business leaders at a recent U.S. Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Houston.
While reluctantly admitting that Texas faces fiscal challenges the Governor refused to acknowledge a $30 billion deficit. It seems that Texas does not do shortfalls much less deficits. But Mr. Perry did concede that the budget was such that school funding would be deeply cut. The Governor assured those present that the solution to the school budget crunch is the creation of more affordable private Christian elementary and secondary schools.

The Rs would love free public education to go the way of the dodo bird - extinct.

They want education to be a privilege and not a right. Only the rich should be educated because only they can afford to pay for their kids to get educated. The rest of us should just be happy to serve in lower paying unskilled jobs.

Look at the votes and the party of perry.

Platform ="We have a great economy and a budget surplus. LOL"

Lots of people vote against their economic interests because they buy into some other issue hype. So many people are repukes because they are anti-abortion. Never mind that republican policy is to let those children starve and be uneducated once they are born. So where is the Christianity in that?

It's the one thing that really stumps me about those heartless republican bastards - why do they care about abortion really? They have no real love of children. They rampantly disregard the child's health and welfare once it is outside of the womb.

Control and pandering to knee-jerk religionists.
