Utah School District Removes Bible from Libraries Due to Vulgarity and Violence
TL;DR
The Davis School District in Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle school libraries after a parent's complaint cited the state's law banning books containing "pornographic or indecent" material. The district's committee determined that the Bible does not violate the law but should be limited to high school-aged students. The decision is being appealed by another parent. The district has also received a request to review the Book of Mormon for inappropriate content.
