Utah schools banned the Bible because of vulgarity and violence.

June 11, 2023

A school district in the U.S. state of Utah has removed a King James Bible from elementary and high school libraries because it contains "vulgarity and violence." The decision was made after a complaint from one of the parents. The Bible has been removed from shelves as part of a 2022 law that bans pornographic and obscene books from schools. In most cases, books on the topic of sexual identity and the rights of the LGBT community were seized. Prior to this, the Bible was removed from school libraries in a Texas school district. This is attributed to the efforts of conservatives to ban teachings on controversial topics.
