Summary
Texas just mandated Bible passages in public school curriculums, starting in 2030—with elementary students reading basic verses, teens tackling complex texts like Jonah and Lamentations. This sweeping move, driven by Republican-controlled education officials, turns religious texts into required reading, sparking fierce debate over church-state separation and cultural representation. Critics decry the exclusion of other faiths and the lack of diversity in authors, while supporters tout Judeo-Christian values as foundational. With Texas educating nearly 10% of U.S. students, this decision could reshape education nationwide, echoing a broader political push to embed religion in public schools.
