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 575 Views
Exactly, no such thing as "Impartial" history Brian - 13/03/2010 12:54:49 AM 465 Views

Strange choice of analogies... Isaac - 14/03/2010 12:17:03 PM 462 Views
I could be wrong, but I think his point was simply... Legolas - 14/03/2010 03:53:23 PM 550 Views
I think it was that it just seems too out of place Isaac - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 591 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. Legolas - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 590 Views
It didn't really seem something that needed elaborating Isaac - 14/03/2010 05:20:33 PM 639 Views

Many of those subjects are relevant school topics. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/03/2010 04:43:41 AM 289 Views
Yes, because this article is all about presenting the truth in an unbiased manner *NM* AgentOrange - 13/03/2010 11:02:20 AM 201 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 510 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 203 Views
I assume you mean Article VI? Tim - 14/03/2010 10:32:36 AM 492 Views
Yes. It's not a very good ruling. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 10:51:55 PM 201 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 273 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 273 Views
Texas history or Texas government? random thoughts - 18/03/2010 06:53:15 PM 450 Views

calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? random thoughts - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 534 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. Joel - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 493 Views
