TreeBeard Posted June 7, 2023 Report Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Utah has banned a book from schools due to violence, vulgarity, incest, bestiality…. Terrible themes to expose vulnerable children to. The book is called “the bible”. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kxx94/bibles-banned-from-utah-schools-after-parent-demanded-its-removal In 2022, Utah passed a law banning books with “pornographic or indecent” content, and defined those terms loosely and vaguely, which restricted access to many titles that contain age-appropriate themes addressing characters’ gender, sexuality, and race. Young adult fiction authors including Judy Blume, Maia Kobabe, Jodi Picoult, and Sarah J. Maas were among those restricted from school libraries in the Alpine School District in Utah, the state’s largest district. In March, a parent in Utah wrote to the Davis School District, demanding that the Bible should be taken off shelves based on the new law. “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” they wrote, accurately and non-exhaustively. “Get this PORN out of our schools... If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, [the Bible] should be a slam dunk.” Edited June 7, 2023 by TreeBeard 1 Quote

Guest Posted June 30, 2023 Report Posted June 30, 2023 Good luck banning any other religion from a school. Once you're banning the freedom of religion, you open a pandora box. Quote
