Remember the Alamo

Julian Castro is the mayor of San Antonio. His mother, Rosie, remembers the Alamo:

"They used to take us there when we were school children," Perez told the Times. "They told us how glorious that battle was. When I grew up, I learned that the 'heroes' of the Alamo were a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn't belong to them. But as a little girl I got the message (that) we were losers. I can truly say that I hate that place and everything it stands for."

Oddly, Rosie did not continue her analysis of history, apologize to the Aztecs on behalf of her people, and suggest reinstatement of the rightful heir of Montezuma. A little education is a dangerous thing.
