    Texas Board of Education approves reading list requiring students to study Bible stories

    Texas State Board of Education approved a K-12 reading list requiring Bible stories, voting 9-5 under a 2023 law. The list includes elementary-level stories like 'David and Goliath' and high school passages from the Bible, with opt-out provisions for parents. Critics argue the mandate violates religious freedom, while supporters claim it reflects the nation's religious traditions.
