We have momentum. The Texas Center has made an important impact through its work with the Texas Education Agency and its overhaul of the social studies curriculum in public schools. This journey led to the E Pluribus Texas® project, the creation of honest and trustworthy video and curriculum on Texas history and culture for use in the K-16 classrooms.
From kindergarten through college, we want future Texans to know how to add their story to the great saga of our state. As a people, Texans have been organically multi-cultural—there is nothing forced or artificial about the great cultural fusion that makes the Lone Star State special, perhaps even exceptional.
Texas is a great expression of the American idea. The framers of this United States envisioned a government that created an environment where its citizens could pursue their happiness. The Constitution was the scaffolding for this great design. Texas is where this dream was tested and proved. What emerged was a place that put the republican rhetoric of Philadelphia into action under difficult and uncomfortable circumstances and proved to the world that these principles . . . worked!
The Texas Center at Schreiner University is where the future of Texas gets made. We face a bold future. With a surge in population washing over the state, new Texans need to know the Lone Star story they are joining. So do their kids.
It becomes a question of cultural sustainability. For our state to remain the place that has attracted people and business to come here—and
deliver on the Texas promises of freedom and prosperity—we need to tell our story. An honest story of visionary entrepreneurs, self-sufficient pioneers, and a solution-oriented mix of peoples and cultures that created our own identity . . .The Texan.
We are a people full of grit—and short on quit—that are hospitable and gracious to neighbors and newcomers alike. Full of swagger, but also humble. We are also a little suspicious of power unless things are explained to our satisfaction. To pass this story along, The Texas Center at Schreiner University created E Pluribus Texas ® a best-in-its-field education ecosystem built around a video-forward Texas core curriculum aimed at students—as well as their families. This approach is not just for children, but useful to all 30,000,000 Texans who strive and thrive in this state.
