Culture wars rock Texas historical site as Alamo Trust CEO resigns over research on role of slavery, indigenous people in state history | Fortune

I'm sharing this mainly for this exchange.

“I believe her judgment is now placed in serious question,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wrote. “She has a totally different view of how the history of the Alamo should be told.”

Which led to this:

In San Antonio, Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, the county’s elected top administrator, decried Patrick’s “gross political interference.”
“We need to get politics out of our teaching of history. Period,” he said in a statement Friday.

Take the politics out of history? That's impossible. That's all history is: politics and their exercise.

What are they so mad about?

[Kate] Rogers [now former CEO of the nonprofit managing the Alamo] noted that the book argues that a central cause of the war was Anglo settlers’ determination to keep slaves in bondage after Mexico largely abolished it. Texas won the war and was an independent republic until the U.S. annexed it in 1845.
Rogers also wrote that a city advisory council wanted to tell the site’s “full story,” including its history as a home to Indigenous people — something the state’s Republican leaders oppose. She said she would love the Alamo to be “a place that brings people together versus tearing them apart.”

Oh, so she's telling the truth. Politicians don't like that very much.

🎭 Culture wars are political theater.

Elites light the match, we argue about the smoke — and the real fire burns out of sight.
