Texas poised to approve more Bible stories, history revamp but changes for high schoolers delayed
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas State Board of Education is set to approve new social studies and reading curricula for K-8 students that emphasize the Bible while minimizing diversity. A final vote is expected soon, but changes for high school subjects like U.S. history and geography have been postponed. Critics, including educators and Democrats, argue that the revisions are rushed and overly simplistic, focusing on memorization rather than critical thinking. The proposed reading list includes Christian stories for students as young as six. The board will decide whether to implement changes all at once or gradually, with high school updates possibly discussed in September.
