Texas Proposes Bible in School Reading List
Description
Texas is poised to overhaul its public school reading list, potentially including biblical passages alongside classics like Great Expectations—setting off a national debate over religion in classrooms. If approved, this sweeping 200-book mandate could reshape education for 5 million students, sparking concerns about church-state separation, lack of diversity, and censorship. While some parents applaud the move as a moral anchor, educators and free speech advocates warn it could establish a dangerous precedent, forcing teachers to teach a state-sanctioned religious narrative rather than letting local districts choose.
