Was reading up on the Alamo talking to a student I know (Hispanic) and they spoke about propaganda. I remember mesmerizing the letter from the Alamo way back in high school do I dide some reading and searches.
World heritage sites?
SAN ANTONIO — One state lawmaker wants the world to remember this about the Alamo: It belongs to Texas.
A legislative proposal by state Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, would ban any foreign entity from owning, controlling or managing the Alamo complex. Campbell proposed the Protect the Alamo Act in response to a nomination that could make the San Antonio Missions — including the emblematic Alamo — a World Heritage site in July through the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
“It's already one of the most recognizable landmarks on the planet,” Campbell said. “The Alamo is the story of Texas. It was there that Texas first stood her ground to be free, and the U.N. doesn't have any business there.”
If passed, the bill would prohibit the Texas General Land Office, which manages the Alamo and surrounding properties, from entering into a contract that would allow an “entity formed under the laws of another country” to manage the historic site, known for the pivotal Battle of the Alamo in 1836

Other attempts to minimize the battle against Santa Anna
The concept of defenders of the Alamo being heroic is ingrained in the history of this state—and in the psyche of most Texans. The Alamo has been compared to the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, in which an outnumbered Greek army fended off a much larger Persian army for several days before being annihilated. But a committee streamlining the state’s history curriculum standards has removed the word “heroic” from a proposed revision of the curriculum because it is “a value-charged word.”
Last month, the advisory group, called the State Board of Education Social Studies TEKS Streamlining Work Groups and made up of educators and historians, voted to approve a final recommendation making a number of changes to the state’s history curriculum standards. The paragraph in the seventh-grade curriculum, in which Texas history is taught, currently reads as follows:

What do vampires and Texan revolutionaries have in common? Answer: Whatever happens, you should never, ever invite them into your home. In the early 1820s, Mexico had just finished its own bruising revolution against Spanish rule (pictured above). Unfortunately, the heavy fighting had decimated the population, especially on the northern frontier, leaving a whole load of open spaces which were nominally Mexico but actually just kinda there for the taking should another nation decide to gobble them up (cough, USA, cough).
