I love Texas and the mythos and swagger.
But, we must not treat the past as perfect nor those that founded Texas as saints.
Most of them were very far from it and downright wrong.
And, TX History has been part of the curriculum for decades. Abbott is just grandstanding. twitter.com/nhannahjones/s…

7th grade in every public school is Texas History. 4th grade year, Texas History.
Go to a public university in Texas? The US History course must have, you guessed it, Texas History.
Test out via AP/IB or a school without the TX History? 1 hour college course in it for you.
I love the spirit of Texas. Sense of independence and anything huge is doable. I love the pride in our State, from door hinges at the Capitol to anything being the “National [blank] of Texas”.
But, I dislike the government of Texas today and hopefully would have 200 years ago.
