Bible Readings in Texas Classrooms
Description
Starting in 2030, Texas public schools from kindergarten through 12th grade will require students to read biblical passages, approved by a 9-5 vote with one abstention. Some board members pushed for earlier implementation, but publisher materials won’t be ready for years. Hundreds of Texans voiced strong opinions during public comment—some praising the move as a way to uphold Judeo-Christian values, others arguing the texts belong in Sunday school, not classrooms, and raising concerns about translation bias and lack of diversity. Even board members are divided, with one calling the process a “book club Gestapo” and demanding more teacher input.
