The Texas State Board of Education heard from more than 150 people about the new proposed curriculum.

Proposed curriculum would allow teachings from the Bible such as the Golden Rule and lessons from books such as Genesis into classrooms.

Opponents argue that the proposal's emphasis on Christian teachings would alienate students of other faiths.

Education officials were expected to vote Friday on whether public schools would be given the option to teach the curriculum.
