The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".

The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. Β§ 76-10-1227.

A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.

Davis District pulls Bible from elementaries, junior highs 'due to vulgarity or violence'

The Bible has been removed from all elementary and junior high school libraries throughout the Davis School District after someone challenged its contents.

@els76uk It's good to see that there are people who are fighting back and trying to defend free speech!
@lauteshirn I'm surprised it took this long before someone pointed out how inappropriate the bible is for children. and that none of the lawmakers can even see that!

@els76uk @lauteshirn

Because they don't actually read it

@marcolgato @els76uk @lauteshirn Or, when they do, think it's okay cause it's "their" book, not their enemy's.
