TL;DR Summary

A parent in Utah, upset by book bans, filed a complaint to remove the Bible from school shelves in protest of a new law that made it easier to remove "pornographic or indecent" content from schools. The Davis School District has largely removed the book from circulation, but kept it in high school libraries. The district review committee decided to retain the book in school library circulation only at the high school level based on age appropriateness due to vulgarity or violence. The effort to ban, limit or restrict books at libraries and other public settings is on the rise, according to the American Library Association.
