With HISD’s new state-appointed superintendent, Houston can expect controversy — and results, according to journalist Jim Schutze.
Here comes this ex-military type none of us had ever heard of, with a stated mission of imposing some kind of ex-military “reform” on our children. The headline on my first column was “The morning my column ran, Miles called and asked to meet me for coffee. Now. I jumped out of my bathrobe and hurried across town hoping I wasn’t still wearing my pajama top.
And yes, he did have a successful military career as an Army Ranger and infantry company commander. But there’s a lot more. After the military, Miles had a second career as a Russia expert in the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and after that another career — before Dallas — as a school superintendent in Colorado.
Miles is not, as his detractors never fail to claim, a my-way-or-the-highway guy. But he is a take-the-hill person. He will not bring with him any Austin politics, any of the terrible gender persecution or other maliciousness that people in the statehouse truck in, because none of that is his hill. He has one hill. It was his hill in Dallas. It will be his hill in Houston.
