Utah district’s Bible ban spurs protest by parents, Republicans
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Republican lawmakers rallied with more than one hundred Bible-toting parents and children at Utah’s Capitol on Wednesday to protest a school district’s decision to remove the Bible from middle and elementary school libraries in the wake of a GOP-backed "sensitive materials" law passed two years ago.
Concerned parents and children holding signs that read "The Bible is the original textbook" and "Remove porn, not the Bible", said they were outraged after the Davis School District announced that a review committee concluded the Bible was too "violent or vulgar" for young children. The committee ruled that it did not qualify as obscene or pornographic under the sensitive materials law, but used its own discretion to remove it from libraries below the high school level.
Karlee Vincent, a Davis County mother of three kids carrying children’s Bibles to the demonstration, said districts could weigh banning certain titles with controversial material, but not religious texts like the Bible.
