Well, the difference is, Steve, we're going to teach the greatness of America.

We're even going to teach manifest destiny.

And the fact that manifest destiny was the motivating philosophy behind our great ancestor pioneers who took freedom, cultural advancement, and prosperity from sea to signing sea.

And we're actually going to teach that that was a positive thing and a good thing.

We're no longer going to apologize for our greatness.

in the state of Texas and in America.

And we're going to pass that great tradition and that great heritage down to our students.

And it'll have that Texas first focus instead of a global focus.

And so our students will see themselves as Texans and Americans and part of that great story.

And then we also teach factual history about the fact that it was the teachings of jihad that motivated the conquest of Christian lands and motivated the killing of 3,000 Americans on 9-11.

And so what we're finding out is that when you stand up to Islam, you stand up to the negative forces that are trying to come in and revise our history, that you can win.

And we've reversed decades worth of historical revisionism that paint America as the bad guy.

We're teaching that America is the good guy.

We haven't always been perfect, but we have an incredible story here.

And it's led to unparalleled levels of freedom and prosperity for America and also for the rest of the world.

Yeah, Steve, I want to thank you and the posse and also my Republican colleagues for fighting this fight with me.

We couldn't have won this victory without you.

We have to come back in June and finally adopt this set of social studies standards.

They can follow me at Brandon Hall TX on X dot com and I'll keep everyone updated.

Well, you're absolutely right that they do believe that they're winning.
