Controversy Surrounds Utah School District's Ban on Bible in Elementary and Middle Schools.

TL;DR Summary
Utah lawmaker Ken Ivory, who wrote a law banning "pornographic or indecent" books from school libraries, now supports the removal of the King James Version of the Bible from elementary and middle schools in Davis School District. Ivory initially opposed the parent's request to remove the religious text, but now says it's a "challenging read" for younger kids and should be read at home. He also wants all instructional materials in schools across the state to be reviewed for age appropriateness. Ivory's law has led to hundreds of requests for book removal, causing a strain on school resources.
