What\u2019s worse? They are trying to get others on board.<\/p>\n<p>A series of publications are promoting a new initiative called \u201cForget the Alamo\u201d in an apparent attempt to rewrite and disparage the history of Texas. The movement began with an article in Time Magazine titled\u201d \u201cW<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6072141\/alamo-history-myths\/\">e\u2019ve Been Telling the Alamo Story Wrong for Nearly 200 Years. Now It\u2019s Time to Correct the Record<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the publication, a slew of mainstream media outlets have jumped on board. This includes the Washington Post, National Geographic, the Wall Street Journal and MSNBC\u2019s podcast The Reid Out with Joy Reid .<\/p>\n<p>The new narrative is criticizing Texan heroes James Bowie, Davy Crockett and William Travis while inviting Americans to, instead, empathize with the Mexican military command who tried to maintain control of the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n<p>In doing his part to remember the state\u2019s history, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed a law to promote patriotic education in Texas\u2019 schools. This includes lessons regarding the battle of the Alamo.<\/p>\n<p>On February 23, 1836 around 150 members of the Texan Army entered the Alamo and prepared for the oncoming siege of Mexican Army General Santa Anna\u2019s men. When Anna arrived, he demanded the immediate surrender of all of the men. The Texans responded with cannon fire.<\/p>\n<p>The siege lasted 13 days until March 5 when, during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/mexico\/alamo\">Battle of the Alamo,<\/a> many of the men defending the fort lost their lives. In the wake of their sacrifice, however, Texas was free.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To keep Texas the best state in the nation, we can never forget WHY our state is so exceptional. <\/p>\n<p>I signed a law establishing the 1836 project, which promotes patriotic education &amp; ensures future generations understand TX values.<\/p>\n<p>Together, we&#8217;ll keep our rich history alive. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4yZuygS2yX\">pic.twitter.com\/4yZuygS2yX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1401978575054684175?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moving forward, Abbott\u2019s 1836 Program will create a nine person committee to ensure that educational curriculum for the Lone Star State will be based on \u201cfoundational principles.\u201d Abbott declared, \u201cto keep Texas the best state in the United States of America, we must never forget why Texas became so exceptional in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-doj-adding-more-people-to-fight-against-efforts-to-limit-voting-and-other-illegal-acts\/\">President Trump: DOJ Adding More People To Fight Against Efforts To Limit Voting And Other Illegal Acts<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Nov. 30, 2019 photo shows the church on the grounds of The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.
