In a decisive victory for traditional values, the Texas State Board of Education has voted 9-5 to integrate mandatory Bible study into the public school curriculum. Starting in 2030, students will engage with essential passages from the Old and New Testaments, including the stories of Adam and Eve, the Exodus, and the Parables of Jesus.
This curriculum, which also features literary titans like Shakespeare and Dickens alongside historical figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Margaret Thatcher, aims to ground students in the Judeo-Christian traditions that were instrumental to the founding of the United States.
Board member Brandon Hall rightly celebrated the move, noting that the Bible is returning to the classroom for the first time in 60 years.
While left-wing activist groups like the Texas Freedom Network are busy complaining about a lack of 'diversity' and claiming the curriculum centers Christianity, they ignore the reality that these texts are foundational to the Western world.
The pushback from teacher unions regarding 'autonomy' is merely a distraction from the fact that Texas is finally setting clear, common-sense standards for what students should know. This move follows other successful efforts in the state to restore moral clarity, such as the mandate to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
As President Donald Trump recently noted, religious values are making a powerful comeback in America, and Texas is leading the way in ensuring the next generation understands the heritage that built this nation.
