Rep. Marc Veasey, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’s 33rd District since 2013, recently expressed concerns on social media regarding historical censorship and disinformation. Veasey, who was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1971 and holds a BA from Texas Wesleyan University, has been vocal about educational issues and preserving historical truth.
On June 19, 2025, Rep. Veasey posted a series of tweets addressing the issue of historical censorship. In one tweet, he stated “History and truth are being censored everywhere. And our Secretary of Education can’t even acknowledge the Tulsa Race Massacre.” This comment highlights his concern over the lack of acknowledgment of significant historical events by educational authorities.
In another tweet on the same day, Veasey noted “We’re living in a moment where disinformation is rampant and vital institutions—like the Department of Education—are being dismantled before our eyes.” This reflects his apprehension about the current state of misinformation and its impact on crucial institutions.
Concluding his thread, Veasey emphasized the importance of Juneteenth by stating “That’s why Juneteenth matters—we will always fight back against efforts to rewrite the truth and defund the future of our children.” This statement underscores his commitment to combating efforts that undermine historical accuracy and educational funding.
Marc Veasey’s dedication to these issues is informed by his extensive political career, which began with his service in the Texas House of Representatives from 2005 to 2013 before joining Congress.
