The CEO of the nonprofit managing the Alamo has resigned after a powerful Republican state official criticized her and suggested she has views that are not compatible with the Texas shrine's history. Kate Rogers said in a statement Friday that she had stepped down the day before as president and CEO of the Alamo Trust. She resigned after Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick posted a portion of a 2023 academic paper Rogers wrote on X. In it, she questioned the Legislature's agenda on education and suggested that she wanted the historic site to have a broader focus. A local official decried what he called Patrick's “gross political interference.”
