Utah school district removes Bible and considers removing Book of Mormon
TL;DR
A school district in Utah that recently banned the Bible from school libraries is now considering removing the Book of Mormon after a complaint was made. The district will assess the book for "all elements of the definitions of pornographic or indecent materials" as defined under a Utah law concerning sensitive materials. The removal of books from public schools in several states has caused a national furore, often driven by conservatives targeting material that contains references to gender identity or sexuality.
