If approved by the Republican-controlled State Board of Education, the list would include Bible passages alongside classic literature like Dickens and Austen, sparking national debate over church-state boundaries, educational diversity, and the future of public curriculum. Critics warn it’s a step toward ideological control, while supporters see it as honoring America’s Christian heritage — a move that could reshape education nationwide.
