Texas Jews are concerned about a proposed school curriculum that includes Christian material. The curriculum, called Bluebonnet Learning, refers to Jesus as 'the Messiah,' asks kindergartners to study the Sermon on the Mount, and presents the Crusades in a positive light. Critics argue that the curriculum inappropriately centers on Christian theology and ideas, and have been lobbying for revisions. While some changes have been made, concerns remain about the curriculum's balance and age-appropriateness. Advocates of the curriculum argue that it provides a well-rounded understanding of important texts and cultural literacy.
