More Bible stories for public schools given initial approval by Texas education board
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas State Board of Education has given initial approval to a reading list for public schools that emphasizes Bible stories while minimizing cultural diversity. The proposed curriculum includes Christian narratives like Adam and Eve and the Parable of the Prodigal Son for students as young as six. Additionally, a significant overhaul of social studies lessons is being debated, which would focus more on Texas and U.S. history while deemphasizing world cultures. The board heard mixed reactions from nearly 500 attendees during public testimony, with final votes on both proposals expected on Friday. If approved, changes will take effect in the 2030-31 school year.
