The new law allows for a book to be removed from all Utah public schools if a threshold number of schools or districts decide it amounts to “objective sensitive material.”
The new law allows for a single book to be removed from all Utah public schools if a threshold number of schools or districts determine it amounts to “objective sensitive material.”
Once that threshold is met, the Utah State Board of Education then has the option of convening a hearing within 60 days to discuss the possibility of reinstating a book statewide. If no hearing is held, the statewide removal stands. But if board leaders vote to reinstate a book, the districts and charter schools that originally opted to remove it may still keep it off shelves.
