Actually as someone who as also moved around a lot, i will whole-heartedly back up Seaver's premise that Texas has by-far more state pride than anywhere else I've ever been. People in many states are proud of where their from, etc. but Texans take it to a whole new level. If you haven't spent significant time living in Texas, it's somewhat hard to grasp. It's not about putting Texas over America or anything like that (although they are the only state that legally can fly their flag that way), it's just a fierce pride of a land and a way of life.
As far as the textbook debate goes....
History has always been written by the victors and those with influence/money. While it is terrifying to me to think that creationism legally has to be taught and given equal time to actual science, it isn't that far behind to say that Columbus "discovered" America or that the American government had "no involvement" with 9/11.
