Texas education officials have mandated a new reading list for over five million public school students, incorporating Bible passages in a move that expands conservative efforts to embed Christian teachings within American classrooms.
The Republican-controlled Texas State Board of Education greenlit the curriculum despite objections from critics who contend the selections lack diversity and undermine the constitutional separation of church and state. Conversely, proponents argue that Judeo-Christian traditions are foundational to the nation's origins and should therefore be reflected in public education.
