If you want to transform a society — start with the children. Teach them at an early age what you want society to be like in the future and they will make it so.
The left and conservatives have been in a virtual war for the minds of our youth for decades and now some Texans are fighting to keep the valor and heroism of one of their greatest historical battles at the forefront of history in school curriculums in their state.
