"cry me a rio".
LOL. That's funny.
I'll take Texas History, thank you very much. (Aren't we one of the only states that teaches as many years of Texas history as we do?) I think it makes all the difference between Texas' conservativism.

They teach the history of their own states. Sometimes it's quite a chore to dreg up enough to fill a single year or semester. In Texas it takes, what 2 or 3 years at different grade levels. There's so much Texas history to teach.

Kind of my thinking - if Texas' history is so intertwined, the fact that Texas History is taught to all seventh graders should cover enough of Mexican history.
I like the "Cry me a rio!" bit, that was great, too!
