3. Charles Murray is the idiot who wrote the Bell Curve and who thinks women are inferior

Greg Abbott's education policy are based on the rants from this idiot. Here are some comments from Juanita Jean on this idiot. http://www.juanitajean.com/2014/04/03/inferior-me/

I’m a woman. Please forgive my small brain. I can’t help it. I was born that way.

It is a well-known scientific fact that testosterone makes a brain bigger and therefore smarter. And, that toting around a set of ta-tas is a brain drain.

I am so glad to know that the man who wants to be our next Governor recognizes gender science as being valid and, you know, scientific. The Republican nominee for Governor, Greg Abbott, quotes Charles Murray in Abbott’s education plan to cut pre-K and kindergarten programs in Texas to the tune of $200,000,000. But, all those zeros are justified because Charles Murray has set American straight about things like women, minorities, and the poor.

Especially women.

“No woman has been a significant original thinker in any of the world’s great philosophical traditions,” he wrote. “Women have produced a smaller number of important visual artists, and none that is clearly in the first rank. No female composer is even close to the first rank. Social restrictions undoubtedly damped down women’s contributions in all of the arts, but the pattern of accomplishment that did break through is strikingly consistent with what we know about the respective strengths of male and female cognitive repertoires.”

Yep, women be dumb. Duh dumb. And don’t even get Charles Murray started on minorities.

In Charles Murray’s world, white rich males are the smartest. So, I guess I’m wondering how all these white rich males running our state government got us into the biggest damn mess I’ve ever seen. Maybe they’ve been over-bred, I dunno.

Honey, when all that stands between you and a rock bottom education system is the state of Mississippi, you’re in big trouble. Two more rich white boys move to Mississippi and you’re dead last.

Y’all, this is just a heads up. I don’t think I’m going to make it to November without blowing a gasket. You’re gonna show up here one day and all you’re going to see is my pounding forehead on the keyboard.

I hope that Maher gives Murray a hard time
