What to know about the push to make Bible stories required reading in Texas public schools
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A proposal in Texas aims to make Bible stories mandatory reading for over 5 million public school students, reigniting discussions about religion in education. The Texas State Board of Education is set to vote on the plan, which follows last year's requirement for classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. Supporters argue that Judeo-Christian values are foundational to the nation, while critics claim it violates the separation of church and state and lacks diversity. The proposed reading list includes stories from the Old and New Testaments, with readings planned from elementary through high school, set to take effect in 2030 if approved.
