Utah School District Reverses Bible Ban After Outcry.

The Davis School District in Utah has reversed its decision to ban the Bible from library shelves for students of all ages. The district had initially limited access to the religious text to just high schools, citing "vulgarity or violence." However, a review committee appointed by the district found that the book did not violate the state's law on inappropriate books. The decision to limit access was met with 70 appeals filed by parents and community members challenging the restriction. The district's Board of Education voted unanimously to restore the Bible to all schools, despite pressure from Republican state lawmakers who attacked the district for the initial ban.
