Utah legislator Rep. Ken Ivory said he plans to take action to ensure the law he sponsored to ban inappropriate materials in schools is not used on religious texts.
A representative of the school district, Christopher Williams, told Fox News that the committee reviewed the King James Version of the Bible and decided it did not contain sensitive material as defined by Ivory’s bill, but decided to keep it only in circulation in the district’s high schools"based on age appropriateness due to vulgarity or violence."Williams estimated that seven to eight schools had the Bible on their shelves and added that it is not taught as part of the curriculum.
stated, pointing to a Utah group involved in challenging certain books in schools."Incest, onanism, beastiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide.""Get this PORN out of our schools!" it adds.
The district, which boasts over 72,000 students, allows students, parents, teachers and school board members to submit a request for a book to be reviewed for sensitive material."The district will treat this request just like any other request and will follow the policy as outlined," Williams said."The Book of Mormon is not taught as part of the curriculum."
Ivory said he’s heard from parents who are"bewildered" about the books in schools that his law was crafted to ban."From the beginning of public education, there was just a general understanding that we're going to entrust our children to you and you're going to effectively teach them age appropriate materials and you're not going to expose them to obscene and indecent materials," he said.
