Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas I was quite blessed last week to be guest speaker for a large crowd of New Braunfels women. To know that in spite of all the awful lies told by the Far Left & the media during the adoption by the Texas State Board of Education(SBOE) of the new Social Studies standards the true conservatives of Comal County understand that Texas won a major war is priceless.
After my speech on the importance of students studying the authentic history of our great country I was presented with a beautiful permanent keepsake and a wonderful contribution to my re-election campaign.
Then former Republican County Chair Don Hensz and current Chair Larry Nuckols read and presented the commendation found below. I am extremely humbled. For eighteen months conservatives fought the disproportionate influence of academias radical left and their efforts to rewrite American History according to their political agenda. Conservatives won the fight for true and accurate American History that honors our Founding Fathers honors our Veterans and Military and promotes our American free enterprise system! Thank you my fellow Texans for drawing a line in the sand and taking a stand!
