Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Texas State Board of Education voted 8-7 for an optional Bible-infused curriculum for K-5 public schools, offering extra funding to schools that adopt it. Critics argue it violates church-state separation and alienates non-Christian students. Supporters maintain it enriches understanding of American history. Similar initiatives are underway in other Republican-led states. The curriculum is slated for implementation in August 2025, but the lack of a requirement for schools to adopt it and the subsequent funding incentive has raised legal concerns regarding its constitutionality.
