Let's see...

My point is...I was a student in Houston.

George W. Bush was a high school student (albeit briefly) in Houston (Kincaid).

It was a state law that everybody study Texas History. I can't think of a better History to study than that of the Great State of Texas.

On weekends and holidays, my father would drive us to various Texas monuments and historical locations. We would travel and discuss and learn.

Doing all these things, I was able to learn and appreciate how great our nation is.

Growing up in Houston in the Sixties was quite an experience. Stunning, to see what people can accomplish! I believe George W. Bush was inspired by it too.

It's where I decided that I was of a "conservative mind".

Students these days are denied the fine educations of the past and it saddens me miserably. Nest Paw?

No, I don't understand what Texas history has to do with kids in Maine studying Islam.
