Summary
Texas is sparking national debate by rolling out a new statewide reading list that includes Bible passages — not for religious instruction, but to teach history and literature. Supporters argue it’s essential to study foundational texts that shaped culture, while critics fear it violates the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause by appearing to endorse religion. Legal experts warn the policy is likely to face lawsuits, with the key question being whether this is truly academic study or government favoritism — a line the Supreme Court has already drawn in past rulings.
