75%


Of Texans in This Poll say they don't want to secede from the United States. Too Bad!, I say.
Interestingly, 31% say they believe Texas has the "right" to secede. Gov. Rick "Goodhair" Perry claims to believe it too. Guess all those school reforms didn't stop at least 31% of Texas' schoolchildren from being shut out of an education. Maybe it's that Texas Schoolbooks are a little shy on discussions of the Civil War, which many of us thought put the idea of secession to rest. Still, there are a lot of those "The South Will Rise Again" bumperstickers to be seen. And with the Flat-Earthers joining with the My-Mom-Wasn't-A-Monkey-ers (Creationists on Texas School Board Prevail), it seems unlikely that the kiddies will be getting any schoolbooks that deal seriously with reality any time soon.
