"Monday, Governor Greg Abbott signed a law establishing the 1836 Project, a project that seeks to raise awareness about key events in the state’s history. Earlier this year, the state passed a bill that would ban the teaching of the 1619 Project which examines U.S. history from the date when enslaved people first arrived on American soil, marking that year as the country’s foundational date.
Right now, the project would only be taught at state parks, museums, and landmarks, but one local teacher is joining many across the state who are worried that this could make its way into the class. “It really important for students and educators to know that the Texas that we have today started well before 1836. Texas has a rich history with many positive things, but also many negative things that have to lead to our society now,” said Amarillo Education Association President Aaron Phillips."
This is the problem with the woke mob deep state critical race theory transgender libs -- they always want to bring up the negative parts of our history...I am born and raised in Texas; so I never got a chance to learn about Texas history in school except for the 2 mandated years every student is required to learn Texas history....but that wasn't real Texas history....now thanks to the 1836 project, we will finally be able to learn real Texas history....Sadly, the 1836 project won't be officially taught in schools, but hopefully it will be soon.....
And it bet not include anything about any flaws in our state's founding -- it definitely bet not include any references to the Texas Article of Secession either -- because that only causes division....it also bet not include anything about indigenous or Tejano people as if Texas was like their homeland; it's better for the sake of unity if we refer to them as illegal immigrants actually....The only true history of Texas we need to know is that Texas kicked a bunch of wetback ass and became a state in 1836 -- and then everybody had freedom..any deviation from that is basically cultural Marxism.
