God and grammar: Texas mandates Bible readings in public school curricula

Texas' education board has approved a new curriculum that mandates Bible stories in public school classes, a move that aligns with conservative efforts to integrate Christian teachings into classroom education. With over 5 million students affected, this decision has sparked debate over the separation of church and state, raising questions about the role of religious texts in public education. While supporters argue it promotes moral and historical education, critics worry it undermines the principle of secularism in government institutions. This decision could set a precedent for similar initiatives nationwide.
