(ABC 6 News) — On Friday, Texas made a decision on a controversial classroom curriculum amid a new push for Bible-based learning.
The Board of Educators approved the new K through 5 curriculum with lessons that are part of an educational resource called Bluebonnet Learning that includes Christian lessons for elementary school reading.
Supporters say the Bible is a foundation text, but critics say the lessons could be harmful for kids.
