Utah School District Removes Bible from Libraries Due to Vulgarity or Violence

TL;DR Summary
The Davis School District in Utah has decided to remove the Bible from elementary and middle school libraries due to "vulgarity or violence," while keeping it in high schools. The decision was made after a parent challenged the presence of the Bible in public schools, citing passages describing sex and violence. The district's book review committee determined that the Bible "does not contain sensitive material," but the decision has already been appealed by another parent. The district will form a committee to review the appeal and make a recommendation to the full board for a final decision.
