THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER: San Jacinto Day…
Meanwhile, in a little irony, Mr. B.’s second grade class starts its “Mexico Week” this year on, wait for it, San Jacinto Day. Multiculturalism at work, I suppose. I wonder if the school system did it on purpose?
Mexico Week. Cogitate on that for a few minutes. Mexico. Week.
What do you think of? Nothing really, over here — fat cats getting rich off their citizens. Single-party hypocritical rulers. Outside of that, not a whole lot. Tequila, I guess. Thanks, Mexico!
As a sprout, I had a Mexico Week in kindergarten. As I recall, we spent a lot of time on Jim Bowie and Davie Crockett and the Alamo, and the Mexicans from whom we won our independence, and pinatas with candy in them. Hopefully, some of that seeps into Mr. B’s teacher’s agenda. It’s vital stuff.

The missus informed me that Texas Week was last month. I missed it. They colored the Six Flags on the backs of paper plates. I saw those. Your tax dollars at work. I do remember that there wasn’t any dance practice for the two-step or buck-and-wing performance. Whereas this week there is dance practice (Mexican Hat Dance, of course, their other invention besides tequilla and the siesta) for the Cinco de Mayo performance. I expect they’ll work in the session on Sanctuary Cities and how to attract more Mexican nationals. Tip: provide free housing and legal aid.
