Summary

The Texas State Board of Education approved a preliminary vote for a new optional curriculum integrating Bible-based lessons into elementary school reading and language arts, sparking controversy.

Serving 2.3 million K-5 students, the curriculum introduces Christian themes like the Sermon on the Mount and da Vinci’s Last Supper, but critics say it lacks balance and could violate the First Amendment.

Supporters argue it reflects America’s Christian cultural roots, while opponents, including parents and educators, warn it may blur lines between education and evangelism.

A final vote is expected soon, with potential nationwide implications.

    Christian Taliban carving out a stronghold in Texas.

    The state is so fucking corrupt and simultaneously incompetent. These neophyte Christian soldiers are going to grow up thinking all of America is like Texas because they’ll never go anywhere else.

    As with Florida, the kids will suffer most as their futures are conscripted to a gross cabal of two-faced men and the women who enable them.
