Did she actually oppose the teaching of Spanish, or did she simply oppose having schools generally conducting classes in Spanish? It's hard to imagine anyone being opposed to foreign languages being taught in schools.

Of course Jesus spoke English as a first language, just like he was the only blue-eyed white man within 1000 miles of where he lived. That's in the Bible, dammit!

That was Ma Ferguson. Get your wacko Texas governors right.

I say this as a church-going Christian, but the Texas BOE is a trainwreck of nutjobs. It could've actually been worse if that crazy facebooking grandma from East Texas had won back in November. She was dangerously close.
