The Texas State Board of Education is considering significant changes to social studies and reading curriculum that could impact classrooms statewide. Proposed revisions would place greater emphasis on Texas and U.S. history while reducing focus on some world history and cultural studies topics. Another proposal would include Bible stories on a statewide reading list for students at various grade levels. Supporters say the changes would strengthen students’ understanding of American history and values. Critics argue the proposals reduce cultural diversity and place too much emphasis on Christianity. Preliminary votes are expected this week, with final decisions anticipated Friday.
