Texas just required Bible readings in school. Here’s why that’s a good thing

Texas' State Board of Education has mandated that Bible passages be included in public school curriculums, sparking controversy among critics who argue it violates the First Amendment's separation of church and state. Despite these concerns, state law and existing legal precedent permit the change. Proponents of the new reading material claim it promotes moral education and cultural literacy. This decision underscores a broader debate about the role of religious texts in public education and the balance between freedom of religion and secular governance.
