Schutze: Gov. Hair drove Hinojosa from Dallas

Jim Schutze
Dallas Observer columnist Jim Schutze had the courage yesterday to cast the blame for the sudden departure of Dallas School Superintendent Michael Hinojosa right where it belongs: in the lap of Gov. Hair.

I’ll let you read his fine piece in its entirety here, but let me give you some of his finest words:

“Governor Rick Perry and the Tea Party are charging ahead with an agenda aimed at the destruction of public education in Texas and massive ethnic-cleansing-style deportation of Mexicans. Perry and a cabal of ultra-right ideologues are exploiting a catastrophic $23-billion state revenue shortfall to engineer the decimation of public education. … Forget civic-mindedness. Texas is being steered by people who don't like America — not the country as we've always known it. They want a different country, and it won't include public schools.”

My hat is off to you, Mr. Schutze.

hats off?? . . really? . . . it reads of the worst kind of racism and demagoguery -- don't agree with someone, call them racists out to destroy life as we know it . . . cheap, rancid rhetoric if you ask me (and I DO NOT like or agree with "gov hair").
