This stupid "anti-woke" movement that allows parents to object to any book in a school library for any reason and like without any articulated objection has been a nightmare for schools and school media specialists.
Well at least one Utah parent struck back and challenged the Bible as a book that shouldn't be available to elementary or middle school students. The review committee concluded that the Bible was too "violent or vulgar" for younger children. I'm no expert on the Bible but apparently there is some freaky stuff in there.
So now the school district has banned the Bible. Good for that resister that did that. The book banning is absolute BS. Of course there has now been a huge protest with people holding Bibles. ha ha ha who cares. "The Bible is the original textbook"? Um no. Noah's Magical Zoo Boat didn't exist. It isn't history in any way shape or form.
I'm glad to see a Utah parent challenge the book hypocrisy.
Bible-toting parents and Republican lawmakers convened on Utah's Capitol to protest a suburban school district that recently announced it had removed the Bible from some schools. The Bible’s removal came after someone challenged it as a critical commentary

I don't know what to think. I hate banning of books; but I don't know enough about the Bible to really comment.

I remember watching the passion of the christ in clips in highschool... I wasnt a kid that was easily affected by things hell I would sit there and watch surgery vidoes while eating cause it was interesting. But other people were. It was sort of upsetting in that way because they had to watch it and do the assignment cause their parent signed permission.
Banning books is odd to me. Why not provide bibles where the violence is taken out like a kiddie bible (I still have mine) ? They have those... Restrict books with graphic and violent contant to older students... With flexibility because some students can just tolerate things earlier.
