## Resource

Texas just made waves by mandating Bible stories and verses in public school curricula across the state, becoming the first to implement such a sweeping reading list for all grade levels — from “Noah’s Ark” for kindergarteners to chapters from Luke, Matthew, and Ecclesiastes for high schoolers. This bold move, approved by a nine-to-five vote on the State Board of Education, blends classic literature and American history with religious texts, reigniting debates about faith’s place in public education — especially as Texas continues to push religious symbols into classrooms. With over five million students affected, the fallout promises to be both profound and polarizing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
