He'd also like to see another, smaller monument placed next to the towering column in honor of the Mexican soldiers who died fighting for what they believed in.

Mr Fernandez obviously doesn't know much about the performance of Santa Anna's men in this fight. If he did he would be seeking to convince everyone that it was the Swedes who opposed Houston at San Jacinto.

I wonder how Mr Fernandez would feel about including the true story of Goliad, which happened concurrent with the Alamo, in the curriculum.

Since when do we give honor to the enemy.

Were the Nazis given a monument in Germany after WWII to honor them for fighting in what they believed in?

This politically correct garbage is going to ruin America.
