Utah School District Faces Backlash Over Bible and Book of Mormon Bans
The Davis School District in Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle school libraries after receiving a petition to ban the holy book due to its descriptions of sex and violence. The ban follows a 2022 state law requiring schools to consider parents' input on age-appropriate books. The district did not explain its reasoning for banning the Bible, nor did it cite which verses were the deciding factor in its removal. The Book of Mormon is the next holy book up for evaluation at the district.
