Or does it simply piss you off that liberals are not the ones deciding what is being taught? Our text books have been dripping with liberal agenda for decades now but that never seems to have bothered the NYT.
For example they are leaving out the Tejanos that fought in the Texas revolution. My Texan husband is very upset by this. A white history is an incomplete history.

I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then?

Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county.

Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin
