Eight days later, Rogers received a call from Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R): He had received a copy of her 2023 PhD dissertation about how museums can influence how history is taught in schools.

“Personally, I would love to see the Alamo become a beacon for historical reconciliation and a place that brings people together versus tearing them apart, but politically that may not be possible at this time,” she wrote on Page 80.

According to Rogers, after reading that section aloud, Patrick asked her to resign as CEO of the Alamo Trust, which is overseeing the Alamo renovation project. She declined.

The next day, Patrick publicly called for her resignation, describing Rogers’s writing as “troubling” and “shocking.”

Wanting to "bring people together" is an official sackable offense in Texas. And of course, she was right - it's not possible now. Because the governor is a bigot and raving lunatic.
