Amid New McCarthyism, the Alliance for Texas History Embraces Diverse Scholarship “It’s particularly important at a moment when our state leaders have demonstrated that they don't want students to have a really full, inclusive accounting of our state or national past.”

“SB 37 is going much further in increasing government oversight of what happens in our classes. So I can only imagine the kind of self-censorship, and then the actual censorship that we experience from the government, is just going to be heightened.”

So glad to see someone finally pointing to the elephant in the room with the big neon sign that says ELEPHANT hanging above it and saying, "Hey, that's a fucking elephant!" in The Press; very surprised to see it in the WaPo of all places. Are editors breaking ranks or what?

Thanks to @zachernsttx for including me in his vision. I’ll never forget this, and what an honor it was to sing Barbara Lynn and Miss Lavelle’s songs. Once the air date is confirmed, I’ll share all the info! 🤩🥳😍
