I had the privilege of interviewing Texas State Senator Tan Parker (R-Flower Mound) at the 2026 Texas Policy Summit. We discussed the 1836 Project he helped launch through legislation, which promotes patriotic education and increases awareness of the Texas values that continue to stimulate boundless prosperity across this state.
Senator Parker emphasized the importance of preserving and accurately teaching our state’s history. Getting history right matters for the next generation so they are equipped to confront the Left’s ideological distortions of the past.
