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.

Will someone please think about the children! how will they get educated!

You pray to me. You give your white envelopes to me.

Thou Shalt Worship me!

I took a course in Islam to fulfill my subject breadth demands for graduation since you have to study 4 different religions to graduate and I tried to find a Quran to borrow so I could understand the religion and they did not have copies of it in the university library database. Other religious books have been banned for centuries and now they are scraping the bible out of it too.

Mormons aren't Christians.

Muslims are closer to Christianity than Mormons.
Mormons believe they will become space gods ruling over their own planet when they die, populating it with their spirit children through celestial sex woth their wives for eternity.
They also believe that jews lived in the Americas before columbus in 3 different groups, the ladt being brought by jesus. They were all wiped out by the native Americans a few hundred years before columbus arrived and the last of them a soldier elohim buried gold tablets for Joseph Smith to find and translate into the book of Mormon.
