For some reason people that write the text books want to paint people (like the founders of our country for example) as good and the others as bad. But the truth is that we're all humans and no one is completely good. We have such an interesting and nuanced history and it would make it so much richer if everyone could tell their story.llevinsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493215416192919697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-42797266313170300342011-02-07T11:59:56.010-06:002011-02-07T11:59:56.010-06:00AN interesting post.

Especially in Texas.<br /><br />Recently, I found out that my great great grandmother was raped and killed by the Texas Rangers. She was a young hispanic mother, and of course, the Texas Rangers saw all hispanics as illegals and dealt with them in whatever way served their whims. She died around 1905. <br /><br />The Texas Rangers have become a state symbol for courage and strength. The rest of us (minorities) call them the Texas Devils.<br /><br />It's a struggle to keep up with what my kids are learning in school and then telling them "the other side of the story."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-17455028538358863362011-02-07T11:06:00.641-06:002011-02-07T11:06:00.641-06:00I love this! :)I love this! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10156573651587644699noreply@blogger.com
