6月26日（路透社）——得克萨斯州教育委员会周五批准了面向公立学校学生的强制阅读书单，其中包含圣经章节——这是当地领导层向教育体系注入保守派与宗教理念的最新举措。
这个由共和党人主导的委员会以9票赞成、5票反对的结果通过了该阅读书单，另有一名委员缺席未投票。该书单将从2030年起惠及超过500万名公立学校学生。

得克萨斯州此前已要求所有公立学校展示圣经十诫，今年早些时候联邦上诉法院维持了这项裁决。此前已有其他共和党领导的州尝试向公立教育注入基督教教义。
批评者称，这些举措与宪法的“立国条款”相悖，长期以来法院将该条款解读为政教分离。支持者则表示，这些措施将基本的犹太-基督教教义重新带回学校体系，许多人认为这些教义在历史上具有重要意义。
强制阅读书单内容广泛，多数为非圣经类经典文本，例如伊索寓言、关于原住民的故事，以及儿童版《堂吉诃德》。批评者指出，该书单中的大部分作品均由白人男性作者撰写，而该州学生群体以拉丁裔和黑人为主。
政教分离倡导者组织“美国人联合促进政教分离”的负责人雷切尔·莱泽在一份书面声明中表示，得克萨斯州教育委员会的决议试图“滥用公立学校，强行推行单一狭隘的宗教信仰，向新一代美国人灌输‘美国是基督教国家’的谎言”。

Texas state school board approves mandated reading list including Bible passages

June 26 (Reuters) – The Texas Board of Education on Friday approved mandated reading lists for public school children that include passages from the Bible – the latest effort by leaders there to infuse the education system with conservative and religious ideals.
The Republican-dominated board, in a 9-5 vote with one member absent and not voting, approved the reading lists for over 5 million public school students beginning in 2030.

Texas had already mandated that the Bible’s Ten Commandments be displayed in all public schools, a decision that was upheld by a federal appeals court earlier this year, following on the heels of other Republican-led states seeking to infuse public education with Christian teachings.
Critics say these decisions are at odds with the Constitution’s “establishment clause,” long understood by courts as separating church and state. Supporters say the measures restore basic Judeo-Christian teachings to school systems, which many have said are historically significant.
The required reading list is wide-ranging and includes mostly non-Biblical and classical texts, such as Aesop’s fables, tales about Native Americans, and a children’s versions of Don Quixote. Critics have noted that much of the list comprises texts written by white male authors, in a state with a majority of Latino and Black students.
Rachel Laser, the head of the advocacy group Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said in a written statement that the Texas board of education’s decision sought to “misuse public schools to impose one narrow set of religious beliefs and indoctrinate a new generation of Americans in the lie that America is a Christian country.”
