TSBoE just changed how history will be taught ...
The Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) recently approved a new social studies teaching plan, effective for the 2025-2026 school year, that emphasizes Texas and U.S. history while reducing the focus on world history and cultures. The SBOE voted 8-7 on September 12, 2025, to adopt a chronological framework that prioritizes Texas history, which has been a point of contention and political debate, with conservative groups supporting the new plan and some educators and Democrats opposing it. This change aligns with a 2021 law prohibiting the teaching of certain concepts of race and racism and aims to provide more time for Texas history throughout students' K-12 education.
