In a first, Texas approves plan to require Bible passages in public schools starting 2030
In a significant shift for Texas public schools, beginning in the 2030-2031 school year, students will be required to engage with selected Bible passages as part of their English and language arts classes. Advocates argue this initiative will enrich students' understanding of influential literary works, while critics raise alarms regarding potential infringements on the principle of church-state separation and the need for a diverse representation of texts.
