Sooo... what I'm hearing is that Texas has an Education Administration that is far from perfect, and are possibly made up of people who got thank you letters for a $50 contribution to a campaign one time?

Um... not to go off on a tangent but William the Bastard had no claim whatsoever to the throne when he invaded. Even if the throne was promised to him by the exiled king, the kingship was voted on by the Barons so the prior king had no authority to do so regardless. Historically, he simply got lucky on a battle he in all reality should have lost.
