Utah School District Faces Backlash Over Book Bans

The Bible and the Book of Mormon have been challenged under a Utah law prohibiting "pornographic or indecent" materials in public school settings. A person filed a complaint with the Davis School District asking that the Book of Mormon be removed from its libraries, echoing a similar challenge against the King James Version of the Bible in December. The district committee decided that the Bible should remain available in high school libraries, but not for younger grades. The complaints against religious texts were criticized by the American Library Association, which said that censorship is not the answer.
