Lawmakers in the Texas Legislature are currently working on a series of bills aimed at introducing Christian beliefs into the state’s public schools, Dallas News reported.

Supporters of these bills argue that they represent a positive step towards protecting religious freedom, particularly in light of a significant Supreme Court decision from the previous year.

However, critics view these initiatives as an attack on the principle of separation between church and state.

The proposed religious bills enjoy support from influential individuals both inside and outside the Capitol, and they coincide with Republicans emphasizing an issue they believe resonates with their base: the accusation that public schools are indoctrinating students with a perceived “woke” agenda.

While opponents of the bills raise concerns about indoctrination, they caution that these measures give undue importance to promoting a specific religious perspective among children.
