Religion May Soon Be Forcefully Pushed Into Public Schools

By N.S.

People are expected to head to school and learn about subjects like Math, English, History and dozens of others. Education is supposed to be unbiased, objective and unconcerned with teaching religion (Unless the school happens to be a religious school).

And usually, public schools are not allowed to teach about only one specific religion.

But now, the Trump Administration might be changing this. The movement to integrate religion into U.S public schools has gained momentum in 2025, primarily driven by Republican-led states and supported by conservative Christian organizations.

In the movement to push religion into public schools, Republican-led states are pushing to expand educational vouchers programs, require Bibles and the Ten Commandments in classrooms, and allow for students to skip school for religious instruction.

Some notable examples exist in Texas, where they have introduced Senate Bill 10.

Senate Bill 10 mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom. Alongside the Senate Bill 10, there is also Senate Bill 11. This bill allows for school boards to designate times for prayer and religious text reading. Additionally, Texan Governor Greg Abbot has signed a $1 billion education program into law, allowing for public funds to be used for private school tuitions, which are often religious.

In the state of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Virtual Charter School Board has approved a Catholic online school that would use public funds. The purpose for this is to convert or at the very least seek to convert students to Christianity.

This push for religious integration to public schools has been mostly propelled by federal influence, specifically the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration’s establishment of entities such as the White House Faith Office appears supporting or actively promoting Christianity. Supporting this, The White House Faith Office is a task force that is given the role to eradicate “anti-christian” bias. This implies more about the motivations of the Trump Administration. “We must always be one nation under God, a phrase that they would like to get rid of, the radical left.” Trump says at a recent Rose Garden event. 

Religion is a very subjective topic and is prone to being both a guiding way of life for some, but in the end it is a belief that only is effective for those who do believe in it. This is an attack on the freedom of education, or rather, assimilation, as some others may call it.
