Texas Nears Decision on Bible-Based Curriculum in Public Schools

Texas is set to vote on a proposal allowing Bible-infused lessons in public elementary schools, a move that could challenge the separation of church and state in education. The curriculum, which has sparked debate, would be optional but incentivized with additional funding. Critics argue it may alienate non-Christian students and violate the First Amendment, while supporters claim it enriches cultural literacy. This initiative follows similar efforts in other Republican-led states to integrate religious content into public education.
