Julián Castro, once the mayor of San Antonio and later the secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama, has levied quite the allegation against Texas Republicans.

“[Texas governor] Greg Abbott trying to erase MLK Jr., César Chávez, and Susan B. Anthony from the Texas curriculum, and recast the KKK as the good guys. This is an assault on history and it must be stopped,” tweeted Castro on Tuesday, linking to a HuffPost article about the bill in question.
