Friedman pushes education - The Battalion - News: "Texas should reform its educational policies by increasing funding for school programs and teaching students real subjects instead of how to take standardized tests, said musician, author and 2006 gubernatorial candidate Richard 'Kinky' Friedman.

'I don't like the way the state is going,' Friedman said. 'We're first in executions and the last in education.'"
