Summary
Texas just rewrote the rules for what kids learn in social studies from kindergarten through eighth grade — and it’s sparking major debate. Starting in 2030, students will dive deeper into Texas and U.S. history, including a brand-new eighth-grade Texas history class, while world history gets a lighter touch — though some say it’ll still show up later. The big controversy? A new required reading list that includes Bible stories like Moses and Adam and Eve — meant to boost reading skills, but critics say it ignores other world religions and misses the mark on teaching kids to live in a diverse society. And while K-8 is locked in, high school standards are still up for grabs. This isn’t just about history — it’s about shaping the next generation’s worldview.
