Summary

The Texas State Board of Education narrowly approved an optional Bible-based curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade, sparking debate over the separation of church and state.

Supporters claim it enriches lessons by tying the Bible to American history, while critics argue it risks proselytizing and marginalizing non-Christian students.

The curriculum, created under a 2023 GOP law, includes Bible references in lessons on morality and historical events like Thanksgiving.

Schools opting to use it will receive state funding.

Legal challenges over its constitutionality are anticipated.
