Fair enough, just trying to make clear I was speaking about municipality and county, respectively. Joel Send a noteboard - 29/03/2010 03:49:30 PM
spelling is different true but still named after the same guy. And if they have removed Zavala from Texas history then they are wrong and it should be corrected. Did they do that or are you just assuming they did?

I'm not even assuming they did, just recognizing the possibility if they're downplaying the role of Mexicans in the Texas Revolution. The article doesn't say exactly what "efforts to include more Latino figures" entailed, so I can't say either way, but if they left the ones currently covered and simply declined to add more, probably neither has been removed.

"Impartial Historical Account" is an oxymoron Isaac - 13/03/2010 12:21:20 AM 599 Views
Exactly, no such thing as "Impartial" history Brian - 13/03/2010 12:54:49 AM 485 Views

Strange choice of analogies... Isaac - 14/03/2010 12:17:03 PM 494 Views
I could be wrong, but I think his point was simply... Legolas - 14/03/2010 03:53:23 PM 570 Views
I think it was that it just seems too out of place Isaac - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 620 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. Legolas - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 617 Views
It didn't really seem something that needed elaborating Isaac - 14/03/2010 05:20:33 PM 663 Views

Many of those subjects are relevant school topics. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/03/2010 04:43:41 AM 297 Views
Yes, because this article is all about presenting the truth in an unbiased manner *NM* AgentOrange - 13/03/2010 11:02:20 AM 217 Views
I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then? Tim - 13/03/2010 12:26:41 PM 536 Views
And, along similar lines, both Article VII of the US Constitution and Missouri v. Holland. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 12:26:10 AM 213 Views
I assume you mean Article VI? Tim - 14/03/2010 10:32:36 AM 518 Views
Yes. It's not a very good ruling. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 10:51:55 PM 216 Views

Do the states just teach their own history, as opposed to that of what-was-then-the-USA? *NM* Tim - 16/03/2010 11:57:06 PM 284 Views
They teach both...at least at the college level. U.S. history and Texas History were requirements.. *NM* Brian - 17/03/2010 05:38:46 AM 288 Views
Texas history or Texas government? random thoughts - 18/03/2010 06:53:15 PM 479 Views

calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? random thoughts - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 560 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. Joel - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 524 Views
