Alamo Woes

Don't remember the Alamo:

Updates to the Spanish mission, which was the site of the historic Battle of the Alamo in 1836 during Texas' fight for independence from Mexico, will include a new 100,000-square-foot visitor center and museum, a 4D theater, as well as a rooftop restaurant, which is being built across the street, the Washington Post reported. The budget is mostly allocated by the Republican-controlled state legislature. The Post's headline read, "Remember the Alamo? Rehab of battle site is latest front in culture war." Because the attraction is a source of Texas pride, Republican Jerry E. Patterson, who served as Texas Land commissioner from 2003 to 2015, told the Washington Post that if the new museum focuses too much on slavery, it could put off visitors. "If we make it a museum about all the bad things and whatever, nobody’s going to go there," he said.

The Alamo wasn't about being woke...
