Utah District Bans Bible from Elementary and Middle School Libraries.
A school district in Utah has banned the Bible in elementary and middle schools after a parental complaint called it "sex-ridden." The district removed the Bible from its elementary and middle schools while keeping it in high schools after a committee reviewed the Scriptures in response to the complaint. The district has removed other titles, including Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" and John Green's "Looking for Alaska," following a 2022 state law requiring districts to include parents in decisions over what constitutes "sensitive material."
