Texas Approves Bible Curriculum for Public Schools

The Texas Board of Education has approved a new optional K-5 curriculum that incorporates Bible teachings, including lessons on Moses and the Good Samaritan, developed by the state under the Bluebonnet Learning program. While supporters argue it provides historical context and moral values, critics, including the Freedom From Religion Foundation, claim it violates the First Amendment by promoting Christian instruction in public schools. Texas Governor Greg Abbott supports the initiative, emphasizing its role in understanding historical events. The curriculum has sparked debate over the separation of church and state in education.
