Texas mom removed for opposing Bible curriculum in schools

A Texas mother was removed from a school board meeting after losing her temper over a proposed curriculum that includes Bible lessons. The meeting took place in Sugar Land, near Houston, where many parents expressed their concerns about the Bluebonnet curriculum, which was approved in November. During the meeting, a lawyer spoke out against the curriculum, saying it favored Christianity over other religions. She claimed that adopting this curriculum would be un-American and hurt children from diverse backgrounds. As she finished her comments, she directed a rude gesture at a board member, which led to her being escorted out by security. Other parents shared similar worries, arguing that religious teachings should remain within families or private schools. They insisted that public education should not include religious content. One parent stated that the curriculum was an inappropriate mix of faith and education. While schools are not required to adopt the Bluebonnet curriculum, those that do will receive an incentive. Supporters of the curriculum, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, argue that it offers choices for schools and can improve education. The school board has not yet made a decision on whether to implement the curriculum.
