Legal to Read Bible in Texas Public Schools
The Texas Supreme Court upheld that public school teachers may read the Bible to pupils during religious services in a show of conduct.

The court affirmed the lower court, noting prayers and readings in assemblies resemble a chaplaincy in legislative halls and should not render schools as houses of worship.
