Utah District Bans Bible In Elementary And Middle Schools

The Good Book is being treated like a bad book in Utah after a parent frustrated by efforts to ban materials from schools convinced a suburban district that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for younger children.

The 72,000-student Davis School District north of Salt Lake City removed the Bible from its elementary and middle schools while keeping it in high schools after a committee reviewed the scripture in response to a parental 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.”

A district spokesperson, Chris Williams, said it doesn’t differentiate between requests to review books. The reviews are handled by a committee of made up of teachers, parents and administrators in the predominantly conservative community where most people are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The committee published its decision in an online database of review requests and did not elaborate on its reasoning or which passages of the Bible it found overly violent or vulgar.

The decision comes as conservative parent activists, including state-based chapters of the group Parents United, descend on school boards and statehouses throughout the United States, sowing alarm about how sex and violence are talked about in schools.

It’s unknown, however, who made the request for the Bible to be banned from Davis schools or if they are affiliated with any larger group. The district refused to provide the person’s identity, citing a school board privacy policy.

Let's be real, people often say how parents give unconditional love to their kids but going by the past couple of decades and especially the past couple of years when the COVID pandemic was happening, I was convinced that this whole concept of "unconditional love" is all bullshit. Even unconditional love from parents is all bullshit because they do have a limit towards their own kids without hardly ever being upfront about it. I've seen plenty of parents who are very quick to cut their own kids out of their life over petty drama and how quickly parents would throw their own kids into the wolves way too soon (as soon as they hit age 18) without any actual real-world preparation and not give a fuck about them once they finally reach adulthood.

The very harsh truth about the real world is that every single human being on this planet only cares about themselves/is self-serving and would kick the ladders down on others if that helps them get ahead in society. Even family members don't sincerely care about other family members and see their other family members as nothing more than nuisances to them.
