The proposed curriculum overhaul was released a week after the Texas GOP proposed requiring the Bible to be taught in public schools. School districts that opt to use them will get more funding.

Elementary school curriculum proposed this week would infuse new state reading and language arts lessons with teachings on the Bible, marking the latest push by Texas Republicans to put more Christianity in public schools.

The Texas Education Agency released the thousands of pages of educational materials this week. They have been made available for public viewing and feedback and, if approved by the State Board of Education in November, will be available for public schools to roll out in August of 2025. Districts will have the option of whether to use the materials, but will be incentivized to do so with up to $60 per student in additional funding.

    Aight, so long as we’re including other religious texts and having the class be a deep dive into similarities and differences and what might make the “human condition” between all of them, I’m game.

    Oh no? Just American Christianity? Sounds like something that goes against the Constitution there.

      The Constitution only matters if there are people that will enforce the Constitution. We’ve purged all those people from government.
