Tomorrow, the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) is meeting at 1:00 pm to vote on putting bible verses in your child’s textbooks. If approved, this curriculum could be implemented as early as August 2025. The Republicans on the SBOE have signaled that they are ready to cross the line from public education to religious indoctrination.

Tomorrow is the final vote on the Language Arts/Reading curriculum, which they held hearings for in September.

Read the full report on this new curriculum from the Texas Freedom Network (TFN), “Turning Texas Public Schools into Sunday Schools?” The report cites the Bluebonnet Learning Curriculum as:

“Bible-infused,” emphasizing Christianity disproportionately while giving minimal attention to other major religions.

Historical narratives still gloss over Christianity’s involvement in colonialism, slavery, and oppression.

Excessive focus on biblical stories and Christian themes in ways more suitable for Sunday School.

The curriculum overstates the importance of religious freedom in American history, minimizing other key liberties.

It still inaccurately links religious liberty as a primary motive for colonization and a central grievance of the American Revolution.

2. Many of our right wing brethren want to put forced public prayer and the Bible back in the schools.

They have no qualms about using the gov't to foist their own religious beliefs on the children in public schools without letting the parents decide how they want their children raised.
