Retired Texas state district Judge John Dietz made his first public appearance this weekend.
Deitz spoke at the Association of Texas Professional Educators in Austin.
He says a solution to the state’s unequal and ineffective public education system should come from the Legislature. This report from the Texas Tribune.
He says, "We are dooming a generation of these children by providing an insufficient education, and we can do better."
The judge declared, "It ought not to make a difference as to your zip code as to your right to receive an adequate education."
The Judge ruled last fall in favor of more than 600 Texas school districts who argued Texas is not meeting its constitutional obligation to adequately fund public education.
The case remains on appeal with the Texas Supreme Court.
