Texas State Education Board Meeting on Bible Stories Reading List

A Texas State Education Board meeting drew an overflow crowd to discuss a new reading list that would include Bible stories for public school students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Religious leaders, teachers, parents, and students debated whether passages like Jonah and the Whale are essential to understanding the nation's history and morals, or if they violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
