Utah district bans Bible in elementary and middle schools 'due to vulgarity or violence'

A parent complaint led to the removal of the Bible from elementary and middle schools in Utah's Davis School District. The district also removed other books deemed sensitive after a 2022 state law required parental involvement in such decisions.
The review committee responsible for evaluating the Bible's appropriateness did not provide specific reasoning or passages deemed overly violent or vulgar. The committee is comprised of teachers, parents, and administrators in a predominantly conservative community.
Conservative parent activists have been pushing for more control over what their children are taught, leading to a surge in attempts to ban or restrict books in schools and libraries across the U.S.
