Texas education leaders consider making stories from the Bible required reading in public schoolsHOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- What books should your children be reading in school? It's a question the Texas State Board of Education is considering. Lawmakers are voting on a reading list with more than 300 books. A vote has been delayed for now after a packed board meeting at which speakers voiced support or opposition to the list recommended by the Texas Education Agency. The proposed list for students in grades K-12 includes several classic works and at least seven selections referencing the Bible.
