Texas Proposes Making Bible Stories Required Reading in Public Schools

Texas is moving to make Bible stories required reading for more than 5 million public school students, reigniting a national debate over the role of religion in public education. This proposal challenges secular norms by emphasizing foundational American and biblical narratives as essential to civic and moral development. The move reflects a broader trend in conservative states to reintroduce religious history into the curriculum, countering efforts to remove such content from classrooms.
