Texas has adopted new standards requiring public school kids to study Israel's history, including the creation of the modern state in 1948, described in the standards as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.

These newly approved standards mandate that students receive instruction regarding the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948.
