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".

--and it's the same program that Texas is using now.  It's what I've just gone over with my daughters per a State of Texas home-schooling program.

A couple of things about this "study" are beginning to smell.  One is that it's not available for us to download so we can make our own evaluation.  The other is that there's a different study that is available, also this year and also by the same institute, ranked Texas at the top.

Since they think that Texas still belongs to Mexico, then that should suffice
