The State Board of Education is set to vote on a proposal that would require Texas schoolchildren to read specific Bible passages. This decision would insert the board into the ongoing discussion about the role of religion, particularly Christianity, in schools. Details about the proposal are available, including the selected Bible passages and religious stories that would be part of the reading list.

The State Board of Education's vote is scheduled to take place this week. For more information on the proposed student reading list and the upcoming vote, readers can refer to the Denton Record-Chronicle for further details.
