conversations with the world's most interesting people.
Bill White – The Mayor of Reality
I had a chance today to sit down and talk with former Houston mayor Bill White and his wife Andrea yesterday. I interviewed them for a tribute film on some super-philanthropist/activists in the Houston, Texas area. We talked a lot about the importance of empowering our youth through education specifically in the areas of math and science.
And when I left this extraordinary man’s house, all I could think about was how in the heck does someone like this lose the Texas governors race to Rick Perry (a creationist who has held the Austin statehouse 10 years – longer than anyone in history)
Isn’t teaching “creationism” illegal? How can the person holding the highest office in the Lone Star state espouse this kind of anti-science?
You can learn more about Mayor White here.
You should also check out this interview he gave to the show InnerViews on the local PBS affiliate in Houston:
Have a great weekend.
