Controversy over Bible ban request in Utah school district.

A Utah parent has requested that the Bible be removed from a high school due to its "sex-ridden" content, thanking the state legislature for making it "much easier" to request book bans. The request was made under a new law banning books with "pornographic or indecent" material from schools and school libraries. Critics say the law has been used to disproportionately target books written by people of color and books with LGBTQ themes. Book bans have plagued US schools in recent years across multiple states, including Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, and Florida.
