The Alamo was the American Thermopylae, a battle of knowing and extreme self-sacrifice, the goal of which was for the HEROIC defenders to buy time for their side to further mobilize against a hated, invading foe. Their goal wasn’t survival or short term victory, it was long term victory and freedom for OTHERS on their side, when the hoped-for ultimate victory was won.
Yes, those men were HEROIC. They didn’t have to be there, knowing that they wouldn’t emerge alive, but they did it anyway, for the benefit of others. Such is the very DEFINITION of heroic.
Phuk this panel, sideways with a running chainsaw.
34 Tennesseans gave their all bravely for Texas. I’ll call them brave and heroic. Calling them anything else is a travesty and should be met with angry violent and physical punishment.
First Beto, now this, people in TX are in serious need of education!
But those people on the panel probably consider Colin Kapernick and Maxine Waters and that ilk to be heroes , for stranding up to the ‘Evil Dictator Trump and his racist minions’.
I really hope Trump speaks out on this,
This is exactly the kind of anti- common sense, Marxist PC crap Trumpism is an explicit rebuke of.
Yeah, teach? You stand up against thousands of enemies, knowing you have zero chance of living thru it and see what it’s like to be heroic. Until then, you’re just a pathetic, cowardly and useless pu$$y.
.
Had the other side won, they would have been heroes.........
What’s next? The defenders of the Alamo were white supremacist that were hating brown Mexicans? You can see that race card coming.
Just ignore the fact that it was both Texicans and Tejanos fighting against the tyranny of Santa Anna.
Texans used to give such pantywastes ‘the back of their hands’ for saying something so stupid.
‘school curriculum panel’ - people who would leave the coutry rather than fight for it ?
They have to stop the weenies from california from migrating to texas ...
Query:
Is “racist” a “value-charged” word?
Because we don’t want Hispanic people getting upset because the Marxists will whip them into a frenzy.
Before we had “teachers” who successfully taught their students. Now we have “educators” who are politically correct but are totally unsuccessful at teaching students.
Just the beginning.
California is already a colony of Mexico, now they are working on Texas.
Heroic? ABDOLUTELY.
Col. Travis letter to the world from the Alamo:
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World:
Fellow citizens & compatriots—I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. comdt
P.S. The Lord is on our side—When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn—We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves
Travis
Always remember that Marxists like Debbie Ratcliffe, spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency, would be more than happy to line you and your family against the wall. What prevents her from carrying out mass murder is the fact that you’re armed.
LMAO every time a Texan belittles California when their own state is deep in the shitter with this kind of instructional directions.
Having grown up in rural south Texas I remember cub scout skits reenacting the Alamo battle. Mexicans were not portrayed and only alluded to as “mescans”. I can’t imagine how all that has changed now. Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone were incredible heroes.
260 against 1800 I would classify
as HEROIC.
They will be tearing down the
statues of the defenders next.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
And he that was left better fly
And over the line crossed 179
Hey Up Santa Anna, they’re killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
For Texas and freedom no man was more willing to die
Hey Up Santa Anna, they’re killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
Fear not little darling of dying
If this world be sovereign and free
For we’ll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
Hey Up Santa Anna, they’re killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
Just surround this “panel” with an angry mob to throw their asses into the street and see how “heroic” this “panel” is.
