Texas Is a Nation Every Texan Should Know the Record
We're the educational affiliate of the Texas Nationalist Movement. We research and teach the case of Texas, so every Texan can weigh the future of Texas with the evidence in hand.
Why TNM Education Exists
The Texas Nationalist Movement works for the day Texans decide the future of Texas. When that day comes, they should know exactly what they're deciding. That's our job. We put the whole record in front of them: the Declaration, the Republic, the constitution that still calls Texas free and independent, and the numbers that show Texas can stand on its own.
We're a Texas nonprofit corporation with our own board, and our charter puts the work in one line: research on "political, cultural, and economic independence movements, with particular emphasis on the case of Texas." We don't back candidates or parties. We teach the record.
The Case of Texas
Our research asks the questions every Texan should be able to answer. Is Texas a nation? Do Texans have the right to decide? Could Texas stand on its own?
Is Texas a nation?The Nation
What makes a nation, and the evidence that Texans are one: the founding record, nearly a decade as an independent republic among the nations of the world, and the identity Texans carry today.2 pieces
Do Texans have the right to decide?Self-Government
The Texas Constitution's own words on the right to alter, reform, or abolish government, why Texas v. White does not reach a vote of the people, how other peoples have decided by referendum, and what international law says about self-determination.4 pieces
Could Texas stand on its own?The Economy
The economic capacity of Texas in official numbers, each with its source: output, population, trade, energy, state finances, and the balance between what Texans pay Washington and what comes back.1 piece
