Summary
The Texas State Board of Education is expected to complete revised social studies TEKS during the week of June 22, 2026, setting the state's updated standards for history instruction.
The revisions are being framed as a push for more rigorous, factual and clearer teaching, with the board targeting standards it says promote a social justice agenda or describe history inaccurately.
Texas officials also say some current objectives are too broad or vague, making tighter wording a key part of the final changes.
The vote will shape how Texas students are taught social studies statewide, with the board presenting the overhaul as a bid to strengthen history education.
