Texas Advances Controversial Bible-Based Curriculum in Elementary Schools

The Texas State Board of Education voted to advance a Bible-based curriculum for elementary schools, aimed at incorporating religious teachings into lessons. The proposal has faced criticism for promoting Christian doctrine and potentially marginalizing students with diverse beliefs. While proponents argue it enriches education, opponents raise concerns about the separation of church and state and the appropriateness of religious content in public education. The final vote on this initiative is expected soon, with implications for schools across Texas.
