The ACLU and a coalition of other groups sent a letter to superintendents and school boards last week telling them not to adopt the state's new Bluebonnet Learning curriculum, which critics say emphasizes Christianity over other religions.

The board has heard emotional testimony from parents, teachers and advocates for and against the lesson plans earlier this week. If approved, Texas would become the first state to sign off on a curriculum of this kind.

Critics say the curriculum overemphasizes Christianity. The board is expected to officially vote on whether to approve the materials later this week.
