Texas school board gives preliminary OK to Bible-based lessons in classrooms

Christian Post,

The Texas State Board of Education moved a step closer Tuesday to final approval of a state-authored elementary school curriculum that includes biblical teachings for elementary school students statewide.

The board's members voted 8-7 in favor of preliminary approval to Bluebonnet Learning, a curriculum proposed earlier this year by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for use in K-5 public school classrooms.

Notably, three Republicans, including board member Pam Little (R-Fairview), a self-described Christian conservative, voted with the board's four Democratic members against the curriculum. Little was re-elected to another two-year term on the Republican-led panel earlier this month.
