Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Texas Offers Unexpected Opposition to Standardized Testing

A number of years ago, Texans voted on their state nickname.  The two choices were the Lone Star state and the Friendship State.  Evidently, the cowboy types won out over the Garrison Keillor types as "The Lone Star" state won out. 

Nevertheless, my experience has been that Texans truly are friendly. 

It now seems that Texans have decided the onerous school testing regime there is not friendly and needs to be either abolished or radically modified.  Bravo to my Lone Star Friends!
