Texas Considers Bible-Infused Curriculum for Public Schools

The proposed Bluebonnet curriculum faces criticism for its heavy emphasis on Christianity and potential church-state separation issues.

The Texas State Board of Education is set to vote on the Bluebonnet curriculum, which integrates biblical teachings into various subjects.
Critics argue that the curriculum prioritizes Christianity, potentially isolating non-Christian students and undermining religious neutrality in public education.
The curriculum includes lessons on figures like Queen Esther, with some sections previously containing inaccurate portrayals of Jewish history.
Supporters claim the curriculum enhances cultural literacy and understanding of historical concepts through religious stories.
If approved, Texas school districts can choose to adopt the curriculum, with financial incentives offered to those who do.
