"Massachusetts is the number one state in the country in education," Bentley said. "Test scores show that. We're not number one, obviously. But we would like to be."

"We've got to give every child in the state of Alabama the same opportunity as the children in Massachusetts have, or any other state in the country," he said.

Because the difference between Massachusetts education policy and Alabama education policy is the difference between the Boston Tea Party and the Alabama Tea Party.
