A Texas lawmaker has unveiled plans for a committee that would promote education focusing on the history and values of the Lone Star Republic.

State Rep. Tan Parker, a Republican, on Monday introduced the bill (pdf) that would establish the 1836 Project, an advisory committee designed to “promote patriotic education and increase awareness of the Texas values that continue to stimulate boundless prosperity across this state.”
