A blow to the First Amendment in Texas classrooms as Greg Abbotts unelected ally casts deciding vote.

After eight hours of public testimony yesterday regarding the Bluebonnet Learning Curriculum, which incorporates Christian lessons from the Bible as early as kindergarten, the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) moved forward today with implementing these lessons in Texas public schools in August 2025.
This morning, the full SBOE sifted through their list of over 140 vendors, which they will approve on Friday. SBOE member Marisa B. Perez-Diaz offered an amendment to remove the Christian indoctrination curriculum, which failed 7 to 8 votes. The final vote on all new vendors, including Bluebonnet Learning, will take place Friday, but it seems the good guys dont have the numbers to block it right now.
Here are the SBOE members who voted to trample on Texas students constitutional rights and force-feed them Christian ideology, beginning at age five. (Links go to their contact information pages.)
