Texas: almost 60% of public school children are poor; half Hispanic; more non-English fluent

Ericka Mellon of the Houston Chronicle offers this:

Almost six out of 10 Texas public schoolchildren hail from low-income families, marking a troubling spike in poverty over the last decade, a new state report finds.

The increase coincides with a significant jump in the number of Hispanic students, while fewer Anglo students were enrolled last year than 10 years ago, according to the study by the Texas Education Agency. Schools also are educating many more children whose primary language is not English...

...Last year, Hispanics made up nearly 48 percent of the enrollment, followed by whites (34 percent), blacks (14 percent) and Asians (4 percent). Nearly 17 percent of students had limited English-speaking skills.

1. Despite the fact that much of the problem is due to massive and especially illegal immigration, Mellon doesn't even hint at the root cause. (She probably wouldn't accurately describe the attached picture either.)

2. Sarah Winkler, president of the Texas Association of School Boards and "Rep. Rob Eissler, chairman of the House Public Education Committee" are quoted as wanting increased resources, training, and the like. However, neither say anything about immigration's role in the problem. If they can't do that, aren't they as untrustworthy as Mellon?

3. If you live in Texas and you want to do something about this, fashion some tough questions for those and other leaders and then "cross-examine" them on video; see the question authority page.
