Thank you Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, you got the attention of the pathetic leftists on the board.

PING!

Sad that this question even arises in what is loosely referred to as "education" in America.

Possessing a clear understanding of the failure of previous civilizations to achieve and sustain freedom for individuals, our forefathers discovered some timeless truths about human nature, the struggle for individual liberty, the human tendency toward abuse of power, and the means for curbing that tendency through Constitutional self-government. Jefferson's Bill For The More General Diffusion Of Knowledge For Virginia declared:

"...experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate...the minds of the people...to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future...it will qualify them judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views.."

Education was not perceived by the Founders to be a mere process for teaching basic skills. It was much, much more. Educa­tion included the very process by which the people of America would understand and be able to preserve their liberty and secure their Creator-endowed rights. Understanding the nature and origin of their rights and the means of preserving them, the people would be capable of self government, for they would recognize any threats to liberty and "nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud." (Adams)

Those Alamo defenders couldn’t have been “heroes.” After all they were being vry offensive to Hispanic people.

Would this be a classic example, of “politicians don’t see the light, till they feel the heat?”

[jjotto]

A tribute to the heroes of Texas, which included plenty of ‘Hispanics’. The story of Juan Seguin and his associates is as stirring and American as the story of Travis and Bowie.

The pubic school powers are bad for children. They are in the camps of Baal, Ashtaroth and those mentioned in Psalms 14:1. Escape to a group of believers in Christ. And pray for revival in the USA.

The vile disgusting leftists will try again though. That’s just how sewage flows.

Texas education board retreats on stripping 'heroic' Alamo defenders from curriculum

They ran like rats!

[bgill]

When I taught, it was fun tearing apart the Texas History textbooks and teaching my students the truth.

[apocalypto]

Interesting article. Outrageous that something like this was even considered. Even in red states, the battle continues to erase our history.

A 15 member board that most people don’t hear much about but
are instrumental in setting the education policies in Texas.
Members are elected to four year terms.

[BobL]

If you allow the Left (i.e., school teachers and related) to control the board - you get LEFTIST POLICIES - even in Texas.

I have NO CLUE as to why Republicans cannot figure out something that simple.
