Texas to correct errors in Bible-infused curriculum

The Texas State Board of Education voted to approve changes to the Bible-infused curriculum some schools are offering in the state, fixing errors caught by teachers in its first year in circulation.  

The curriculum, which is optional for schools although those who adopt it receive extra state funding, was found to have more than a thousand errors, including grammatical mistakes, copyright and imaging problems, and some factual errors.  

The board approved the change to the “Bluebonnet Learning” curriculum in a 9-6 vote at Wednesday’s meeting.  

While some board members said there were more than 4,000 changes needed to the curriculum, according to The Associated Press, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) argued that is an inflated number. 

In a statement to The Hill, TEA said around 1,900 changes were needed to the curriculum, alleging the issues were largely grammatical and copyright problems rather than factual errors.  

TEA said the process of submitting changes to the board causes some errors to get counted multiple times.  

“For example, if a lesson text is missing a comma in the teacher guide, student reader or other piece of collateral – even though it’s only one change (adding the comma) – the IMRA process requires that each change be submitted individually, meaning that one addition of a comma would be tracked as three separate changes,” the agency said in a statement.  

“My concern is that we have failed students this school year who have been utilizing this product,” said Democratic board member Tiffany Clark, The Associated Press reported, adding even a typo in a math problem could cause issues in a classroom.  

It is unknown how many schools adopted the curriculum, but the AP reported around 300 districts said they would use it back in August.
