Utah School District Ban The Bible For Containing Vulgarity & Violence

Utah School District Has Banned The Bible For Containing Vulgarity & Violence

Some American states have been ripping down books that preach diversity and inclusion, however Utah seems to have gone the other way by removing the Christian holy book.

A parent requested The Bible to be taken off the shelves in Davis School District libraries due to its passages about sex and violence, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

So they wanted to test the waters and point the finger at ‘one of the most sex-ridden books around’. In their request, they wrote: “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide.

“You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.”

A new law was brought in last year that that required any book that was deemed to contain ‘pornographic or indecent’ content to be removed from schools.

The Davis School District listened and they have agreed.

District spokesperson Christopher Williams told The Salt Lake Tribute that while The Bible doesn’t contain any content that is ‘defined in Utah Code 76-10-1227, 76-10-1201 or 76-10-1203’ they have decided to remove it from elementary and middle school libraries.
