The Davis School District in Utah has removed the Bible from its elementary and middle school libraries in response to a petition calling it 'pornographic.'
— a sacred text of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints — is the next holy book up for evaluation at the district.
The petition of the parent requesting review of the Bible was made available in March 2022 with the parent’s name and address withheld. The Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ is a religious text of the Latter Day Saint movement. "Get this PORN out of our schools," the parent wrote along with an eight-page listing of"offensive" Bible passages."If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, this should be a slam dunk."
