Texas education officials voted 8-7 to support an optional curriculum that incorporates Bible lessons for elementary students, amidst opposition against promoting Christian beliefs in public schools.
Governor Greg Abbott supports the curriculum, asserting it will help students understand the connections between history, art, literature, and religion, particularly regarding U.S. foundational events.
The Texas Education Agency proposed this curriculum following a new law, and after public testimony revealed significant community division over including biblical teachings in school.
This movement aligns with trends in other GOP-led states such as Oklahoma and Louisiana, which have also adopted similar educational measures promoting biblical teachings in public systems.
