A simmering dispute over planned renovations to the Alamo erupted into a war of words between two Republican elected state officials this week.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick joined critics of Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who is overseeing the controversial Alamo redesign plan. Patrick accused Bush of broadly labeling detractors as liars and racists. Bush said Patrick twisted his words in what he labeled a dangerous mistake.
{snip} In a Dec. 10 post, Range wrote that Bush intends to put up a statue of Antonio López de Santa Anna, the president who led Mexican troops against the defenders of the Alamo, outside the San Antonio battle site. Range could not be reached for comment.
The following day, Bush said the claims were an outright lie and flat out racist, on Twitter. He questioned whether his Mexican heritage played a role in the accusation he would support a Mexican dictator.

The next assault leader in the Bush Norte Mexicano movement to mexicalize the US... a “partnership” with the mexican aristos who think they descend from conquistadors.
Thanks.
They tear down Confederate monuments and even though Confederates, they were still Americans...
They want to build a monument to an outside invader...
EFFUM....
OK... I violated an FR rule and actually read the whole article.”
lol, nicely played and spot on!
Sad that the Bushes are Democrat spies running the GOP for so long. I do not think Texans will defeated George P. in 2022, as so many are so uninformed.
NOPE. We preservationists don’t want a “movie set”; instead we want a PERMANENT memorial park, without any “commercial activities”, FOREVER.
What I’m talking about is:
1. MOVING Alamo Street OFF of the battleground,
2. Removing the current “Alamo Store” & administrative facilities from the battlefield,
3. Marking all the known graves & the privy holes where the brave Soldados were disposed of by The Dictator Santa Anna,
4. Tearing down all of the “carnival sideshow” across the street from the Alamo Chapel & marking the location where LTC Travis died,
(The current wax museum is at COL Travis’s death site.)
5. Moving the cenotaph from its current location to the edge of the battlefield,
6. Constructing a Visitor’s Center & museum OFF OF the battleground,
7. Marking where the fortresses’ wall once was,
8 Replacing the current concrete with grass, native rock & “period appropriate “walking pathways,
9. Preserving/marking the site of the funeral pyre, where our martyrs bodies were burned
and
10. Spending whatever is necessary to preserve/repair the Chapel.

There really needs to be an education effort here in Texas and elsewhere
There is no accurate civics instruction in the public school system. Who is going to teach it? We waste way too much time on silly electioneering when the real effort should be in teaching first principles.
