Officials bash rumors that Alamo, other missions will be run by U.N.

[douglas9]

Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, whose office oversees the Alamo, had two key words Wednesday about rumors that the state shrine could fall under control of the United Nations.

“Horse hockey,” Patterson, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, said Wednesday in a statement.

Rumors have circulated in recent weeks, via email and social media, that the U.N. would manage the Alamo if it — and San Antonio's four other Spanish colonial missions — are granted World Heritage status.

The story began to swirl in September with an emailed piece titled “The New Battle of the Alamo” by George Rodriguez, former president of the San Antonio Tea Party.
