"The Texas State Board of Education on June 26 approved a mandatory reading list for public schools that includes select stories from the Bible.
The measure includes a list of texts that would be required reading during each grade level in all the state's public schools, and includes Bible stories and verses in grades ranging from elementary to high school. The move has kicked off a polarizing debate over religious freedom and religion in schools.
There were over 5.5 million students enrolled in public schools in the state during the 2024-25 school year. Those students already view the Ten Commandments listed in each classroom after a state law requiring them was upheld by a federal appeals court.
The State Board of Education, which has a Republican majority, approved the proposed reading lists in a 9-5 vote on June 26.
