199. Alamo
The Alamo is a historical event to Texas and as such:
a. Shall be remembered and not 'reimagined'.
b. Texas's authority regarding the Alamo shall not be infringed upon by any organization or authority, including but not limited to local governments, the federal government, the United Nations, or UNESCO.
c. Decision-making authority for the Alamo must never be removed from Texas.
d. The custodians of the Alamo must be required to:
i. Affirm and emphasize the intrinsic significance of the 1836 battle in telling the story of the Alamo.
ii. Maintain transparency in finances and operations of the Alamo.
e. Specific protection shall be afforded the site, including all land and existing monuments, particularly including the Cenotaph, which SHALL NOT be moved from its present site.
f. We oppose any official action from a state-funded institution of higher education that disrespects the heroic actions that occurred during the Texas Revolution. We call for swift financial and personnel consequences for universities that cancel official Texas Independence Day celebrations or remove "Come and Take It" as an official slogan.
