Texas Board to Decide on Bible Integration in School Curriculum
TL;DR Summary
Texas education officials are set to vote on a new public school curriculum that includes Bible lessons in K-5 reading and language arts, sparking criticism for its focus on Christianity over other religions. The curriculum, part of the Bluebonnet Learning materials, is optional and incentivized by House Bill 1605. Critics argue it violates the separation of church and state, while supporters claim it provides contextually relevant religious education. The debate highlights broader tensions over religious content in public education, with similar measures being pursued in other Republican-led states.
