A school district in Utah may ban the Holy Bible after a parent complained that it contained "inappropriate and pornographic" material forced it to face committee review.
On Dec. 11, the David School District received a petition from a parent to have the Bible removed from schools for being what the parent considered a "sex-ridden" book. The petition of the parent requesting review of the Bible was made available on Tuesday with the parent’s name and address withheld.
"Utah Parents United left off one of the most sex-ridden books around: The Bible. You’ll no doubt find that the Bible has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition," the petition read.
This complaint followed the passing of Utah’s "Sensitive Materials in Schools" law enacted in May which "prohibits certain sensitive instructional materials" if they contain "explicit sexual arousal, stimulation, masturbation, intercourse, sodomy or fondling." Within the first five months of the law being in place, parents filed over 250 complaints petitioning for certain books to be removed from schools.
