Are American school children still taught to Remember the Alamo?

My great great great great uncle William J. Lightfoot gave his life defending the Alamo. His brother Henry avenged his death at the battle of San Jacinto. My family has been part of Texas history since before it existed. The anglo citizens of Northern Mexico were betrayed by Santa Anna. And there were many tejanos who joined the cause of Texan independence. It was not about religion or race it was about a dictator throwing out the constitution and imposing tyranny on the lawful immigrants from America. When I was in school The Alamo was taught very prominently. But I live in Texas and went to school back in the 80's. We were still proud of our founders back then. I fear for the future of our country with the break down in modern education. But as for me, I still "REMEMBER THE ALAMO"
