Letter from Alamo goes viral among Texas educators
A Perrin-Whitt CISD superintendent John Kuhn cites the 1836 Travis letter to underscore today’s school funding crisis driven by Gov. Rick Perry’s stance on tax and spending. Kuhn read his appeal at a March capitol rally of 10,000 education advocates urging restoration of state support and priority for public schools. The piece includes Travis’s original 1836 letter and historical context of Texas funding battles.
