Texas officials back optional school curriculum with Biblical references, sparking backlash

The optional teaching materials have ruffled the feathers of critics, who argue it is too Christian and blurs the line between separation of church and state.

The optional teaching materials, known as Bluebonnet Learning, have ruffled the feathers of critics, including parents, teachers unions and liberal advocacy groups, who argue it is too Christian and blurs the line between separation of church and state, the paper reported.  Kendall Tietz is a writer with Fox News Digital. 

One such critic, David Brockman, a scholar at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, said the curriculum "verges on Christian proselytism insofar as its extensive, lopsided coverage of Christianity and the Bible suggests that this is the only religious tradition of any importance," WSJ reported.
