....or that the Texas Army ambushed the Mexican Army when they were taking a SIESTA at San Jacinto lmao
Much of what I learned about history in Southeast Texas public schools was extremely flawed. Yet they did teach us all about Juneteenth since it happened in our backyard. Also drilled into us: the Texas flag flies as high as the U.S. flag and Santa Anna is basically Voldemort.

It was the same in my day in the Texas schools, when multimedia programming meant film strips of static images and a recording that said when to change the image with a “bong” sound

One of my Pease chess club kids learned about Juneteenth riding his horse in the annual parade in Austin, Texas. That is how we hoofed it from the State Capitol in the good old days.pic.twitter.com/7BfTwkJLIZ
