Utah School District Removes Bible from Libraries Due to Vulgarity and Violence
TL;DR Summary
Several elementary and middle schools in Utah's Davis School District have removed the King James Bible from their bookshelves after a parent complained about its "sex-ridden" content. The parent cited Utah's new legislation to remove "pornographic or indecent" literature from classrooms and argued that the Bible offers "no serious values for minors" due to its "pornographic" nature. The ban will go into effect immediately, impacting as many as eight schools, while an appeal to return the Bible to lower grades is under review.
