Utah district bans Bible in elementary and middle schools 'due to vulgarity or violence'
apnews.com/article/book-ban-school-library-bible-fc025c8ccf30e955aaf0b0ee1899608a
Quick Glance: Utah district removes Bible from elementary and middle schools due to vulgarity and violence
- Following a parental complaint, the Davis School District north of Salt Lake City removed the Bible from its elementary and middle schools, as a parent argued that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for younger children.
- A committee reviewed the scripture and decided to keep it in high schools.
- The district also removed other titles, including Sherman Alexie’s 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' and John Green’s 'Looking for Alaska,' to comply with a 2022 state law requiring districts to involve parents in decisions over what constitutes 'sensitive material.'
- However, it is unknown who requested the Bible to be banned from Davis schools or if they are affiliated with any larger group, as the district’s privacy policy does not disclose this information.
