Gov. Greg Abbott signs 1836 Project into law, promotes ‘patriotic education’

"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.

What complaint do you have about it?

 

[rightwinger]

Texas revolted against Mexico because Mexico wanted to ban slavery.
They also withdrew from the union to preserve their slavery

 

[rightwinger]

Texas was know for its ”Juan Crow Laws” targeted against Mexicans

Texas immigration law clouded by state's history of racial discrimination

The state's attempt to target sanctuary cities is running into the state's racist past.

www.nbcnews.com

“during the period from 1848 to 1928, at least 232 people of Mexican descent were killed by mob violence or lynchings in Texas — some committed at the hands of Texas Rangers,”

Will this be included in the teaching of Texas heritage?

The fact that it is political theater.....

Texas History is already taught in schools...it is mandated that every student learn 2 years of Texas History...

The only reason he did this was to virtue signal to reactionary right wing cucks who want to believe they are losing their way of life if we don't continue teaching fairy tales.... because future Texans are learning there is more to the history of Texas than the Alamo....

‘I Cry All the Time.’ A Century After 15 Mexican Men and Boys Were Massacred in Texas, Their Descendants Want Recognition

An investigation was followed by a cover-up

time.com

In the dead of night on Jan. 28, 1918, a group of white Texas Rangers, U.S. military men and local ranchers burst into the homes of Mexican and Mexican American families in Porvenir, Texas, a small border town west of Marfa. They rounded up 15 men and boys — the youngest just 16 — and shot them to death.

The REAL Texas History......not your whitewashed definition

History of slavery in Texas - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The issue of slavery became a source of contention between the Anglo-American settlers and Spanish governors. The governors feared the growth in the Anglo-American population in Texas, and for various reasons, by the early 19th century, they and their superiors in Mexico City disapproved of expanding slavery. In 1829 the Guerrero decree conditionally abolished slavery throughout Mexican territories. It was a decision that increased tensions with slave-holders among the Anglo-Americans.

After the Texas Revolution ended in 1836, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas made slavery legal. The General Provisions of the Constitution forbade any slave owner from freeing his slaves without the consent of Congress and forbade Congress from making any law that restricted the slave trade or emancipated slaves.

I enjoyed taking Texas History.....I had a great history teacher who would teach the story behind the story when it came to history....made it a lot more complete...


Like how Texas only became part of the union because they were too broke to be an independent state...some Texans thought they would be a country that would stretch from the border of Louisiana to California...didn't work out...

and I am sure my teacher would had been fired by today's Conservatives for allowing us to read the Texas Order of Secession......

"She [Texas] was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery–the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits–a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time."

I find that phrase "had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race" -- interesting.... it's almost like the folks who wrote that ordinance bought into that 1619 project propaganda .... everyone knows that was not what the country was founded on.

Read your own links, dumb fuck.

"In August 1831, Juan Davis Bradburn, the military commander of the custom station on Upper Galveston Bay, gave asylum to two men who had escaped from slavery in Louisiana. The slave owner hired William Barret Travis, a local lawyer, in an attempt to retrieve the men. When Bradburn arrested Travis on suspicion of plotting an insurrection, settlers rebelled. The disturbances were resolved through a combination of arms and political maneuvering. One result was the Turtle Bayou Resolutions, which were an explanation of the grievances that had led to the disturbances. One of the resolutions challenged Bradburn for "advising and procuring servants to quit the service of their masters, and offering them protection; causing them to labor for his benefits, and refusing to compensate them for the same."

The assholes arrested a local lawyer (who became the commander at the Alamo) on bullshit charges. That started most of the shit.
