Individual states, my home state of Texas among them, have proven incapable of maintaining first class school systems. This is especially true when you factor equality and inclusion of minority's into the formula. Racial bigotry, big money, organized religion (satin's right wing on earth) and greed, that is the cornerstone of them all, are so inextricably embedded in government at the state level that they they feel free to rig our elections and silence our voices.
