AUSTIN, Texas—In a win for conservative parents, the Texas state education board voted to shelve changes to the social studies curriculum after dozens of parents objected to adding gender, Critical Race Theory, and LGBT into education standards.

More than 100 parents and group representatives signed up to discuss the proposed curriculum and state requirements. State Board of Education members said they received thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls from parents and teachers.
