The claim: In a tweet proclaiming "so goes Texas, so goes the world," state Rep. James White said that 10 percent of children in the United States are Texans.
White’s tweet used many abbreviations and symbols, but can be paraphrased as such: Texas youths are 20 percent of our state population, but 100 percent of our state’s future. Texas holds the destiny of our nation. Ten percent of U.S. children are Texans. So goes Texas, so goes the world.
PolitiFact ruling: True. White’s claim checks out. There are about 73.4 million minors in the United States and about 10%, or 7.4 million, live in Texas.
