The state-created and optional curriculum comes as many states are pushing biblical education in public schools
The Texas State Board of Education approved a new curriculum that will incorporate stories from the Bible into elementary school education.
In an eight-to-seven vote on Tuesday, the board approved the state-written “Bluebonnet” curriculum, which infuses Bible stories into language arts materials for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. All four Democrats on the board were joined by three Republicans in voting unsuccessfully against the curriculum.
Except it seems to violate section 6 "Freedom of Worship" of the Texas Constitution.
All men have a natural and indefeasible
right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences.
No man shall be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship, or
to maintain any ministry against his consent. No human authority ought, in any
case whatever, to control or interfere with the rights of conscience in matters
of religion, and no preference shall ever be given by law to any religious society
or mode of worship. But it shall be the duty of the Legislature to pass such laws
as may be necessary to protect equally every religious denomination in the
peaceable enjoyment of its own mode of public worship. (Feb. 15, 1876.)
