State Board of Education signals support for Bible-infused curriculum

A majority of the Texas State Board of Education gave final ap proval Friday to a state-authored curriculum that heavily includes biblical teachings.

Eight of the 15 board members approved Bluebonnet Learning, the elementary school curriculum proposed by the Texas Education Agency. Leslie Recine, a Republican whom Gov.

Greg Abbott appointed to tempo- rarily fill the board's District 13 seat vacated by former member Aicha Davis, voted in favor of the curriculum. This month, voters elected Democrat Tiffany Clark to fill Davis' seat. Clark said she would’ve voted against the curriculum.
