U.S. school reportedly bans Bible in elementary and middle schools over ‘vulgar and violent’ passages.
By Admin
The Davis School located at the north of Salt Lake City, has banned the use of the Bible for students until they enter high school.
The district has removed the Bible from their elementary and middle school libraries after receiving a petition to ban the holy book due to its descriptions of sex and violence.
According to Fox News, the Bible ban is not the first of its kind — Utah schools previously began removing other books from libraries after a 2022 state law required schools to consider parents’ input on age-appropriate books.
The Book of Mormon, a sacred text of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is the next holy book up for evaluation at the district.
