Gov. Greg Abbott praised the Texas 1836 Project’s goal of “patriotic education,” contending “we must never forget why Texas became so exceptional in the first place.”

Texas leaders were not pleased with The New York Times’ highly controversial and Pulitzer Prize-winning “The 1619 Project,” so they countered with the “Texas 1836 Project,” their own method of teaching the state’s history and exceptionalism.

The Houston Chronicle reported that the committee in charge of the Texas 1836 Project has approved a 15-page pamphlet to be given to applicants for a Texas driver’s license.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — who appointed the committee, alongside fellow top Republicans Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dade Phelan — praised the project’s goal of “patriotic education” and emphasized that “we must never forget why Texas became so exceptional in the first place,” according to The Chronicle.

The reason white settlers in Texas seceded from Mexico is because Mexico had outlawed slavery. That's a fact.
