Texas Approves Plan for Mandatory Bible Passages in Public School Curriculum

Texas public schools will require students to read selected Bible passages starting in the 2030-2031 school year as part of English and language arts instruction. The plan, approved by the State Board of Education, includes biblical stories and New Testament passages, aiming to expose students to influential texts. Critics express concerns about blurring lines between religious and public education and reflecting religious diversity.
