[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another state whose leadership aims to destroy public education in their state.

What will happen if this passes: 
Complete inability for Texas to recruit new science professors who are able to compete in the market of ideas.
Those smart faculty will head to other states - or other countries.  (Britain, China would love to have them.)

If this happens I wouldn't send my kids to Texas universities - because Texas universities won't get the best faculty.

We have a modern global talent economy, and if a state education system is anti-intellectual, why would I want my kids to go to school there?

I'm not a Republican and have voted for them zero times but this is one proposal I can stand behind.  I can understand tenure when the supply of teachers is low.  I keep hearing that it's the oppisite.  Too many PhDs looking for too few jobs.  Kill tenure and hire the best.  If old geezer wants to leave because his tenure is gone, he's welcome.  Don't think research funding will be impacted by this.[/quote]
