NEW: The Texas State Board of Education just overhauled public school curricula to focus on Texas "exceptionalism," require Bible readings and whitewash racism. Its the culmination of a decadeslong push by Christian nationalists - an assertion of their grip on the highest echelons of education.

“ @briankaylor.bsky.social observed that Hegseth used his personal Bible when he took the oath of office in 2024.
