normiss 798 #4 August 24, 2012 I'm more curious where this jesus dood was for the last twenty odd years. Why would he wait to save one of his own for so long. Such a prick move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read the article, you would have learned that Texas has a lot of adults who did not complete high school simply because of the large immigrant population from Mexico and points South. These are people who come to Texas as adults to work, it is not the fault of the Texas education system that they did not finish high school back in Mexico or wherever long before they moved to Texas. California has a similar issue, for the same reason. Amongst kids who grow up in Texas, a high proportion graduate from high school, more than average (compared to the rest of the US) graduate from college, and more than average (again compared to the rest of the US) go on to graduate school. It's almost always a good idea to read the articles one links to, to be sure they actually support the point being made.

BIGUN 1,296 #9 August 25, 2012 Well, before you go throwing too many rocks at Texas... According to the National Registry of Exonerations; Illinois has six more exonerations than Texas. (I included your article in the numbers count even though it has yet to make it to the registry). The question becomes one of perspective... Does that means that Illinois is better at exonerations or worse at placing the wrong people in prison? The National Registry of Exonerations is a joint project between Michigan & Northwestern Law Schools.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
