“never heard of Cinco de mayo til the last decade or so”

Me too!
I grew up in a border town in TX. Plenty of mexicans. In fact, more mexicans than whites.

Anyway, I never heard of Cinco de mayo. No one celebrated it. And believe you me, our non-white neighbors used any excuse in the book to have a party and drink.

Schools never taught us about mexico’s history either. I do seem to remember Alamo history being taught.

What the heck has happened to our Country and to our schools?

They “should” have taught you about May 5th as it related to the USA, Napolean and the war between the states.

“What the heck has happened to our Country and to our schools? “

My son is currently taking classes on-line for a degree in Criminal Justice. I can not tell you how many times I’ve become absolutely LIVID over the course work. He’s not even IN a classroom, but the material for every single class thus far has been extremely and decidedly from a progressive left perspective.
