Commentary: A Crisis at the Alamo
« on: December 16, 2019, 10:50:40 pm »
Texas Scorecard By Debbie Andrle December 13, 2019

A Texan voices their opinion on recent developments at the Alamo site in San Antonio.

There is a historical crisis happening in Texas right now, but the vast majority of Texans don’t know anything about it. Greed and a politically correct undercurrent amongst a powerful few are working to minimize the battle for Texas independence at the Alamo and whitewash our precious Texas history. It is an attempt to take away the heart and soul of this state, and the Texans that know about it are not standing for it.

This “re-imagination” of the Alamo has been in the works for the last few years. The repair and refurbishing of the Alamo is most welcome. However, the true purpose of their plan—by General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush, the City of San Antonio, and wealthy investors—is not what it first seems.

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the purpose of this project has always been to honor “both” sides. It doesn’t matter to them that Santa Anna would be considered a war criminal today. They are developing a type of “movie set” to entertain tourists. They have already put up some historical monuments to Defenders. The purpose is to have an educational/entertainment experience. However, they are whitewashing the history.

Under what possible scenario is it plausible to honor both sides?

What a disgrace this mayor is.

Like saying the cemetery headstone of a WW2 vet should say "He was a hero, but was also a murderer."
