There’s a Taco Bell, several in town. A few streets have stupid Spanish names. We’ve got tile roofs. What do they expect?

Many major historical sites in MEXICO are not marked. Battle grounds and cemeteries abandoned. Some cultures don’t care about their past.

We have towns named Seguin and Gonzalez.
We have a senator named Cruz. Does this prof. want the Irishman O’Rourke to win?

Apparently these professors have never been to Texas. Towns, counties, historical markers, parks, etc. But these were all named for those evil freedom loving Latinos, so they don’t count........./s

And no markers exist where pioneering educator George I. Sanchez captured images of New Mexico poverty for his 1940 groundbreaking book “Forgotten People.”

That there is irony. But I really haven’t heard of that guy or his book.

Build monuments to De Soto and Ponce de Leon and it will be just a matter of time before native American groups demand they be torn down.

Gee, in California they just took down all the monuments of Father Junipero Serra for being racist against Native Americans.
