The classic movie to see is still The Alamo made and directed by John Wayne in 1960. It tells it like is without the PC garbage rewriting of history from post modern academics.

If you go in as a (John) Kerry supporter, you are going to see the Alamo as a symbol of social justice and the struggle for civil rights. If you go in as a (George W.) Bush supporter, you're going to see the Alamo as a symbol of freedom and individualism.

No, if you're a Ho Chi Kerry supporter you will be admiring the courage of the Mexicans and rooting for the slaughter the Americans.

.....For more than a century, popular lore and classroom teachers portrayed the
defenders as virtually all Anglo


Well, any classroom teacher has done this after visiting The Alamo and reading
the plaques listing the NAMES of the defenders...then tells their classroom the
defenders were all Anglos...
should have their teaching license stripped from them for life.

They are either too dumb or too mendacious to be entrusted with teaching anyone.
Let alone be paid for it.
