This is about as pathetic as one can get with political correctness.

How about hearing from you folks in Texas?

[TexasRepublic]

Remember the Alamo!

Remember Goliad!

Remember San Jacinto!

Screw Political Correctness!

We're not giving back Texas without a fight! Keep your powder dry, boys!

[ricer1]

This Texan wants to spit bullets...

[metesky]

Everybody that fought at the Alamo were not Anglo-Wasps. I mean, weren't there Mexicans and Indians there too. Why not teach that it was a multi-cultural revolt against an oppressive tyrant?

[ricer1]

My great-great-great-great-great-great-uncle died at the Alamo... I'm not impressed with this shovelful of steamy bovine leavings.

If the 40% of Hispanic students are Texan, then they learn Texas history. If they want to be Mexican they can go back to Mexico. Texas history is Texas history. Remember The Alamo! Remember Goliad!

Dan got it right!

I guess these Bozos don't know about Juan Seguin and other hispanic heros of the Texas revolution. Go look at the monument outside the Alamo, you'll see quite a few Spanish surnames on there. They aren't those of the Mexican soldiers, I guarantee! In fact, I'll save everyone a trip to San Antonio, not that a trip to San Antonio wouldn't be nice anyway, provided you do it soon, or wait until October, maybe November :), Defenders of the Alamo

This is more PC insanity. I heard a woman on FOX talking about this, saying that since more children in Texas schools have a Mexican heritage, that they didn't want to offend them. I have a Mexican heritage through my mother and have NEVER been offended by the history of the Alamo. There were Mexicans that fought side by side with the defenders of the Alamo. If people get offended by the true history of the Alamo, then they need to go back to Mexico.

There are legitimate criticisms of the Texians -- they had been invited into the country on the understanding that they would become assimilated, Spanish-speaking, non-slaveholding Mexicans. They didn't, and never intended to.

Somehow, I doubt that noting these points in the history texts will mollify radical Hispanicists.

"you could be planting the seeds of a separatist movement 30 years from now or sooner"

30 years from now?? All we have to do is open our eyes and look around and it becomes quickly evident that that movement is already organized and well under way.

Lorenzo de Zavala would be very disappointed to hear about this.

I wonder if the "social studies curriculum manager" has any idea who de Zavala was...

Shamefull stinkin thinkin!

Is there any doubt that Political Correctness is killing our country????

"We are all in this together and we include those Hispanic kids who are now in our district who have a heritage from Mexico," Miller said.

But "purists" are up in arms over the new curriculum, and say the school district is re-writing history.

"There is only one way to teach Texas history and that's Texas history," said Dan Stein, executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "Now, if you're going to teach Mex history or you're going to teach some other country's history, that's fine. But Texas history is Texas history."

I am sick of traitors. I am sick of this invasion. If congress won't act to defend the nation, then the citizens will have to.

"If you teach young people who have allegiances not only to the United States but to Mexico that Texas is stolen, you could be planting the seeds of a separatist movement 30 years from now or sooner," he said

It's already been alive for years and it's growing. I suppose the schools in Mexico don't teach about the U.S. Army storming of Chapultec(sp)or the U.S. victory at Vera Cruz either.

Remember The Alamo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NovemberCharlie]

As I posted on another thread:

By all means, let's tell the Mexican side of it. Tell one and all how Santa Anna trashed the Constitution and went on a reign of terror in Mexico. Tell how his brother-in-law, General Cos, gained the title "the Butcher of Zacateas(sp.)" before he marched into Texas. Tell how the Texans saved Mexico by weakening Santa Anna's political and military power, such that the Mexicans were able to kick him out when he returned to Mexico City.

Of course, they couldn't keep him out -I swear that guy had more lives than Rasputin.

I saw this post earlier today and shared it with a friend or two at work. I'm tellin' you folks, this country is not gonna be the same. We are in danger of losing a lot, if not everything. Those that just sit back and watch are gonna be in for a rude awakening, then it will be too late............Preserve our Republic! Fight for Freedom!
