My daughter, who started Kindergarten this year, actually pledges allegiance to the Texas flag right after they pledge allegiance to the American flag in school. I went to high school in Texas for two years, and I don't remember that. 
Only in Texas.

its a new requirement that started this academic year. It's actually state law that all school kids in Texas say it daily and that there has to be a Texas flag in every classroom in the state.
Maybe the legislators were concerned that people werent proud enough of Texas.
I miss this place so bad when I am not here. I dont know how kitso does it.
PS: Am watching the Alamo special on The History Channel. Although I am a student of Texas Hsitoy, I will always be amaized at how, to this day, Texans and Mexicans view the events of 1836 so completely differently.
I was at a wedding a few weeks ago in San Fernando cathedral (downtown SA) and did not know that the cremated remains of Travis, Bowie and Crockett are entombed there. It was very sobering to be in their presence.
I cant wait till the movie (The Alamo) comes out in April. Its gonna rock.
