Bible reinstated in Utah school district after public pressure.

The Davis School District in Utah has decided to return the Bible to its shelves in all district libraries after it was banned from middle and elementary schools last month. The decision came after 70 people filed appeals against the ban. The reversal is the latest development in the debate over a Utah law allowing parents to challenge “sensitive materials” available to children in public schools. The legislative effort is one prong of growing push to ban certain titles; the number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. in 2022 was the highest in the 20 years, according to the American Library Association.
