Utah School District Removes Bible from Elementary and Middle Schools

Utah School District Removes Bible from Elementary and Middle Schools Due to 'Vulgarity and Violence'

A school district in Utah, USA, has taken the step of removing the Bible from elementary and middle schools after a parent complained about its content being unsuitable for children. This decision comes as Utah's Republican government passed a law in 2022 banning books deemed "pornographic or indecent" from schools, resulting in the removal of various books related to sexual orientation and identity.

The removal of the Bible is part of a larger conservative movement in some US states to ban teachings on controversial topics, including LGBT rights and racial identity, along with restrictions on offensive books. The Bible will remain available in local high schools, but its presence in elementary and middle schools has been eliminated.
