Utah School District Bans Bible, Sparks Controversy.
TL;DR
Davis School District in Utah, which recently banned the Bible in elementary and middle schools, has received a request to review the Book of Mormon for containing violence. This is the latest in a series of book challenges in the state, which began after a law was passed allowing parents to request removal of books containing "pornographic or indecent material." The district will form a committee to review the Book of Mormon to determine if it violates the law. The district has not received complaints about other religious texts, such as the Quran.
