Summary
Texas is poised to approve a new high school social studies curriculum that’s sparking national controversy — critics say it unfairly portrays Islam as inherently violent and linked to slavery, while glorifying Christianity’s role in shaping Western civilization. Muslim advocates and students argue the lessons are discriminatory, using loaded terms like “radical Islam” to paint an entire religion with the brush of terrorism. With a Republican majority on the board, approval seems likely — and if passed, the changes will impact students starting in 2030.
