Texas ranked lowest among the nation's four southern border states in its standards for teaching Latin American and Mexican history

Let's see...The Mexican 1824 Constitution, it's betrayal, Santa Anna, The Alamo, Goliad, San Jacinto and the surrender of Santa Anna. Texas as a nation 1836 to 1845 and then the US-MExican War starting in 1846 once Texas joined the Union. The defeat and occupation of Mexico and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.

That history was taught me as a child in Texas...and it said all that needed to be said IMHO.

Damn straight. When I was in Jr. High, we called it "Texas History".
