The CEO of the Alamo’s historic site has resigned after a top Texas Republican criticized her

The CEO of the nonprofit managing the Alamo resigned after a powerful Republican state official criticized her publicly, suggesting that her views aren’t compatible with the history of the Texas shrine.

Kate Rogers said in a statement Friday that she had resigned the day before, after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wrote a letter to the Alamo Trust’s Board of Directors suggesting that she either resign or be removed. Patrick criticized her over an academic paper questioning the GOP-controlled Legislature’s education policies and suggesting she wanted the historic site in Texas to have a broader focus.

“It was with mixed emotions that I resigned my post as President and CEO at the Alamo Trust yesterday,” Rogers said in a statement texted to The Associated Press. “It became evident through recent events that it was time for me to move on.”

Several trust officials did not immediately respond to email or cellphone messages Friday seeking comment.

2. A bunch of crooks who refused to accept the anti-slavery policies of Santa Ana. That's who

fought at the Alamo. Why are they honored again?

3. I found out the truth about the Alamo later in life. I am a 3rd generation Texan who left Texas never to return because

I identify with New England's politics now. All that shit about the Alamo was just whitewashing slavery. My family was devastated. Too effin' bad!!!
