Josh Hart posted on X to celebrate the Texas State Board of Education’s 9-5-1 vote making selected Bible passages required reading in public schools.
The new reading list includes the Book of Exodus for fifth graders and “The Shepherd’s Psalm” for seventh graders.
Board member Julie Pickren said the passages and other primary texts are meant to deepen students’ understanding of moral traditions, Western civilization and critical thinking.
Hart, 31, has regularly invoked his Christian faith during his nine-year NBA career and reacted as New York celebrated the Knicks’ championship parade.
