Bible Banned From Utah School District

A parent frustrated by efforts to ban materials from schools convinced a suburban district that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for kids.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — 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.

In the author's opinion, these verses represent atrocities which would not be characteristic of inspiration by a perfect, omnipotent, just, and loving "God."

It's about time! What goes around comes around. What do you think?

Why is it about time? It's about space between your woke pea brain as well.
There are some violent things in the Bible for sure. There are also video games the same children are probably playing as well. There are violent games like football too. The point is about the stories in the Bible is that Pride always destroys good and leads society into a hellish state of tyranny and confusion. And, that finding God destroys evil as well. Things elementary kids need to know.

In the author's opinion, these verses could be taken as being sufficiently vulgar as to be unworthy of having been inspired by a perfect "God," verses which--were they not in the Bible--would likely be considered even by many Jews and Christians to be "vulgar."

In the beginning, a parent filed a challenge to have the Bible removed from Davis School District libraries, citing passages describing sex and violence.

The district said let there be a review of the book. And it was so.

Now, the committee appointed by the district to review the complaint and decide if the Bible is appropriate for students to access has made its determination: High schools in Davis will keep the religious text on the shelf.

But it will be removed from elementary and middle schools for containing “vulgarity or violence.”

The scripture was first challenged in December by a parent who wrote in their complaint that they were frustrated by the books being removed from school libraries in recent months — with conservative groups across the country and in Utah taking aim at literature they call “inappropriate,” and which has particularly focused on books written about the LGBTQ community.

So the parent submitted their request for a review of the Bible, saying it was time to remove “one of the most sex-ridden books around.”

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “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.”

Update: Book of Mormon now challenged in Utah school district that banned the Bible

The Bible is banned in these Utah elementary and middle schools now for ‘vulgarity or violence’

Not so far off topic when it comes down to it, but conservative SLC is the King when it comes to porn subscriptions. They love little girls too. That's why the law allows 15 year olds to wed there.

Done that. Pretty simple. If you need a definition, consider yourself "Woke."

I dont want any kind of porn in our schools.
While dems fully support queer porn.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Davis County is very conservative with loads of MAGA.

Amazingly courageous decision by the Board.

Now the Book of Mormon: Korihor, an apostate in the book, is tortured for his opposition.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Now let's look after the Book of Mormon.
