This is about as pathetic as one can get with political correctness.

How about hearing from you folks in Texas?

[JennysCool]

Sounds like those idiots would prefer a motto like "Forget The Alamo." Unbelievable.

[ImaGraftedBranch]

We have the longest-running form of government in the world; our constitution is the oldest of them all.

However, we are giving it all away. Republics like ours can't last unless they are defended.

External enemies won't kill us...we are rotting from within.

How long till we wake up and realize that our former country of our youth is gone? Kids today don't know the difference unless they are privately schooled or homeschooled.

[Paul Atreides]

Why is it that the guilty white liberals never LEAVE?!

[CatoRenasci]

Remember the Alamo!

On to Mexico!

Remember the Maine, To Hell with Spain!

[Cogadh na Sith]

New Mexican?

Well, New Mexico did defeat Texas in the Civil War at the Battle of Glorietta pass. I'll bet they'd like to forget that...

[TomGuy]

PC still attempting to rewrite the history books. Soon we won't even have a history, but we will have di veerrr si ty.

[Young Werther]

As a transplanted Yankee my history is alittle spotty but...

I suppose we could chant, "Remember San Jacinto!" I think that was a "small" engagement where Texas patriots kicked some major Mexican butt!!!!!

[Endeavor]

This viewpoint is absolutely ridiculous and incredibly offensive to this Texan. I don't care who likes it or dislikes it, we fought and died for that land. Mexicans fought and died, too. They lost. We won and created a bastion of freedom and a land of pride, self respect and a gracious integrity which will not be wiped away because somebody's feelings might get hurt.

It's about damn time "immigrants" started seeing themselves as Americans rather than as strangers in a strange land with no allegiance to that land and the values held by its peoples.

If those seeking to "change" Texas history simply to coddle people think they're in for an easy road, they've got another thing coming. They better not expect to be successful in initiating this change. We've fought a war or two and we know how to win.

That a Texan enough response for ya? REMEMBER THE ALAMO! (and thanks Juan Antonio, for bringing this to light)

[Brownie74]

A Texas....

[abishai]

In 30 years, or less, 9-11 will be rewritten so we won't offend the Islamic extremists.

[Brownie74]

I'll try again.

Ping!!

[Non-Sequitur]

Didn't Mexico win at the Alamo? How would reminding them of that fact be insulting?

Over 40 percent of Texas' student population is Hispanic, with most of those tracing their heritage to Mexico. A new curriculum still teaches Texas independence, but administrators say the traditional "us vs. them" perspective has taken a back seat.

Hey, it's just normal immigration like what we've experienced in the past...

Nothing happening here.  Sure we're couching history lessons, but that's not so much...

We're looking at the furture nation of Aztlan.

[Saturnalia]

Not to put the Texans down, but they WERE fighting Santa Anna.
(Has just finished Latin American History class)
In modern terminology, Santa Anna can be considered a dumb@ss.

He was a VERY charismatic leader, managed to gather armies together no matter what the circumstances.
He just couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
The only reasons this idiot was in power was:

1. His home province was Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz was the location of the treasury.
He obviously didn't worry about money with the entire government budget only a good walk away.

2. "Right place, right time" He managed to kick out Spanish and French invasions, mainly by denying entry to the mountains, leaving invading armies to suffer from yellow fever.

3. Lack of anyone else. Seriously, he was one of the few Mexican caudillos (warlords/strongmen) to stay in power for a significant time during the 1800's.
Hell, he even managed to get the presidency one last time even after losing HALF THE FARKING COUNTRY!

Of course, he then completed the Gadsden Purchase and was finally exiled for being such a dumb@ss.
To this day, I doubt any statues in Mexico are dedicated to Santa Anna.

In short, Santa Anna=@$$clown

[Dog Gone]

This is the Houston school district, which is a typical, liberal, bloated, poor-performing inner-city school district. It's not representative of Texas, nor is it even representative of Houston, which has several extremely good school districts.

I can assure you that HISD is neither a role model, nor typical of Texas school districts.

Bull Sheeet to pc.

[TexConfederate1861]

My wife is the great-great-great-great Grandaughter of the Vice-President of the Republic of Texas.....Lorenzo De Zavala..... Her Reply......TOUGH....THEY LOST....GET OVER IT! But then again...they are taking it back without firing a shot! (birth rates, illegal immigration...etc.)

[TX Bluebonnet]

There are people in Goliad who want the Massacre at Goliad to be called the Execution at Goliad. They think that sounds better. I thought the executive director of Presidio La Bahia was going to pop a gasket. He didn't go for it at all.

[Ohioan]

This is why homogeneity of a population is a positive, not a negative quality. The alternative leads to this sort of split-personality, loss of a cohesive heritage.

There is no problem, if a society allows in the individual of another inheritance, another race or culture. In that situation, he accepts the climate of his adoptive land; their heritage becomes his; his gratitude for being there may make him more avid in its defense than those originally born to it. But the in movement of large numbers alien to that heritage, within a short time frame will inevitably lead to this sort of corruption.

This is not to single out the Mexicans; although they differ more widely than past waves of immigration from the traditional American norm. But New York, even under waves of Caucasian immigration in the early 20th Century, moved sharply to the Left; away from the politics of the American mainstream, or her own earlier leaders. For example, contrast Grover Cleveland's values as Governor of New York around 1880, with his fellow Democrat Mario Cuomo, a Century later. (Not sure of the spelling, and my point really does not require that I look it up.)

Do not misunderstand me. My views are not based upon an antagonism to foreigners. Three of my four grandparents were immigrants. My views are based upon a fondness for Americans and the uniquely American tradition. Liberal immigration policies will lead inevitably to its destruction. (See Immigration & The American Future.)

I was a young child during World War II, but I well remember the song that rallied America, "Remember Pearl Harbor, As we did the Alamo." It is my prayer that Texans will not allow that type of American spirit to be snuffed out in these days of confused purpose, and attempts to accommodate that which simply will not accommodate.
