Texas Democratic Party Responds to Approval of Bible Study for Elementary School Curriculum

November 22, 2024

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement:

“In a state as diverse as Texas, home to millions of people from countless faiths and beliefs, the Texas Republicans on the State Board of Education voted to incorporate Biblical teachings into the state curriculum—completely undermining religious freedom. This move has ultimately violated parents' rights to guide their children’s faith while presenting teachers with additional needless challenges.

“Our public schools should be focused on equipping students with the education and skills they need to succeed beyond grade school whether it's pursuing a higher education or entering the workforce. The teaching of religious doctrine should stay in our places of worship where it belongs.”
