Quote and commentary.

The following quote seems to emphasize that Texas has a long history of "interesting" political figures:

Quote from Anu Garg of Wordsmith.org:

In the 1920s, while barring the teaching of foreign languages, Texas governor Miriam "Ma" Ferguson picked up a Bible and famously declared, "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for Texas." The governor could be excused for not knowing that what she held in her hand was a translation, but not for mixing state and religion. But here we'll focus on the former. If anything, she unknowingly presented an argument for better teaching of history and geography. There was no language called English at the time of Christ, nor was the Bible written in English. The books making up the text of the Bible were written in various languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). So much for mandating monolingualism! [snip]

And people wonder why I avoid politics and news regarding our current administration. These quotes should explain nicely.
