Gov. Rick Perry to appear on Facebook Live Tuesday
The Texas Governor is about to meet The Social Network.
Texas Governor Rick Perry is scheduled to appear on “Facebook Live” 3 p.m. Tuesday, a web show hosted by Randi Zuckerberg (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s sister).
A representative from Facebook said that topics of discussion may include, “The importance of high-tech jobs to the state of Texas; how he feels about Facebook having just crossed 100 employees in Austin; how SXSW has become one of the biggest tech, media and music conferences in the world and why the state of Texas is the state that has facilitated it; how he used Facebook and other social media tools in his campaign; and how he uses Facebook and other social media tools to keep in touch with constituents.”
The show has been broadcasting from South by Southwest Interactive this week. Other guests have included Mike Tyson, Conan O’ Brien and Ellen Page.
You can find the show here.

The generation ahead us never had to deal with education as a political issue. Education should be considered outside bipartisan thoughts. Put our states future first, then get to your political agenda second. It's unbelievable how proud he is of bringing high paying jobs to Austin and Dallas, but these new residents are all going to be heading to private schools because we've abandoned our public schools!! Amazing the indifference the governors office is emitting.

Perry can discuss all the tech jobs he wants to, but he's going to have to face the fact that these high tech business people will want their children educated in a community with strong programs that are properly staffed. With the education budget cuts he and his cronies are proposing, that won't be available in Texas, thus they'll take their business and all those high tech jobs to another state.

Really? THAT'S what he's talking about? We have an education crisis, and he's not going to mention his plan for tackling it at every opportunity he gets?
