You have the tools to compare the party platforms and determine for yourself which part supports education in Texas — I mean, really supports education, as opposed to using Doublespeak to profess support while angling to get a shiv in the back of education.
You can look at the 2010 Texas Republican Party Platform here. There are brief mentions of education in other sections, but you’ll find education starting on page 12. Texas Democrats put education up front, on page 2 (unofficial version, but the emphasis won’t change).
Education sections of the 2010 Texas Democratic Party Platform appear immediately previous to this post, in eleven sections.
- 2010 Texas Democratic Platform: Diversity
- 2010 Texas Democratic Platform: Community Colleges
- 2010 Texas Democratic Platform: Higher Education
- 2010 Texas Democratic Platform: Making Our Schools Safe Havens for Learning
