A bill hat would require schools to devote a week in mid-September each year to focus on teaching students about the country’s founding won backing from the state House on Friday.

The “Celebrate Freedom Week” measure, one of several bills sponsored by conservative Republicans that would affect school curriculums, passed on a 95-25 vote. It would require the State Board of Education to develop rules and regulations for public schools in collaboration with other state agencies and private entities who volunteer to participate. A handful of states, including Texas in 2001, have adopted similar weeks dedicated to civics instruction.

The measure also states that religious references in the writings shall not be censored from the teaching of the materials.
