A bill to restrict what is termed 'sensitive materials' in Utah schools is advancing in the state legislature.
SALT LAKE CITY — A bill to restrict what is termed"sensitive materials" in Utah schools is advancing in the state legislature.
The bill has been watered down from its original version which banned any sexual content. Instead, it now bans what is deemed"pornographic." "After 40 years, I’ve watched the significant deterioration of family and moral values in our society that have affected students in our schools," he said, speaking in favor of the bill.
Lyla Mahmoud of the ACLU of Utah expressed concern about removing a number of books because some people disagree with the content.
