The parent writes that the book should be considered indecent under Utah’s new book banning law, after seeing the other titles that have been pulled.
So they’ve submitted a request for their school district in Davis County to now review the Bible for any inappropriate content. The Salt Lake Tribune obtained a copy of the parent’s petition for the book review of the Bible late Tuesday after submitting a public records request for it on March 9, asking for an expedited response, which was denied.
So what about the Book of Mormon? What if there is a Koran, or a Torah, or a Wicken publication? How much more can these crazy parents come up with in order to bind their childrens' brains?
You know, at first I thought this parent must be crazy. But then, I browsed a Bible and saw the word “begat” all over the text. 😉 In all seriousness tho, the Bible does have a few difficult passages, but you really have to hunt for them. And the language is pretty dry.
Lol porn gee you Mormons should read the king James again
So much Republican BS. The focus should be increase reading time... period. Do the youngsters read at all?
I agree ban it. I believe it’s categorized non-fiction, so compounds the degree 100%.
Somehow I doubt that any arbiter is going to determine that the Bible taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest of minors, or taken as a whole does not have serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors, or that it fails under the indecency standard
The definition of pornographic material under Utah law is practically the same as obscenity is defined under the Miller test, and the Bible isn't anywhere close.
😂😂😂
Good.
One parent!! I have to agree the Old Testament has some questionable verses, not for the young. The ONE parent should have submit the things she objects to
Waste of time. The courts have spoken. You can have Bibles in your classroom library. You can teach about Religion in an objective way. You can use sacred/religious music, literature, historical figures if balanced and has an academic purpose.
So uncreative.
I so hope there's parents willing to push this in FL & with little Ronnie DeSantis! In reality, the bible has tons of porn in it, vivid details on sex, sexuality, beastiality, lust, virginity, and homosexuality. It should be banned from schools!
My high school had a school-approved version of the Old Testament with lots of sections removed
Welcome to Fahrenheit 451! They want to control everything - what we read and women’s bodies! Wake up Utahns - we needs to defeat these bigots and show them we’d not going to put up with this.
The law is getting a request? 'Hey law, I have a request for you.' What a stupid headline... shitlib, pull it together. Also, you've posted this tweet like 8 times, kinda sad that you think this is a burn or interesting.
Separation of Church & State:
Who drew the pictures in the bible?
A library is a place of books the moment you start banning books it is no longer a library. Nothing says you have to read the book or check it out but there are those who will want to. Only a socialist, fascist, or dictatorship prevents the education of a society by banning books
I thought we got rid of religious books in schools when we got rid of prayers in the 80s, or did Utah not get the memo back then? Religious books were kept in colleges and public libraries, but not everyone is Christian, people have the right to choose that's freedom.
Awesome. Let’s have the review. Get God’s word in front of more eyes. Win-Win.
The world kicking against the goads smh
Why do democrats want sexually explicit material in grade school libraries? It’s weird
Add the Book of Mormon. It's worse than the Bible.
The Bible shouldn’t be in schools period
You reading picture Bibles or what
School is no place for Roman fairytales...
Trib being the Trib. Probably one person said that.
I think the Trib looks at itself as the states conscious….
That escalated quickly.
Yes, get rid of it.
All you defenders of sexualizing children just need to admit you’re pedophiles.
The decision making body should simply laugh at this, then say: 'Denied. We'll use the guidelines to ban bad books, not good books'
Pretty sure the Trib would be silent if school libraries had the Quran and the Talmud . Real easy to pick on the Christians
I like the part where some kids mock Elisha so he prays to god to curse them and then bears come out and dismember all the kids. All 42 of them.
The Bible is filled with inapprop content. However I don't think it--or any book--should be banned. It's incredible that anyone could read scripture and come away thinking it's nonfiction. No one is that credulous; the road to atheism is littered with bibles read cover to cover
How many times are you going to flog this juvenile concept? What garbage journalism.
The Bible should be banned from the earth. It’s fake and causes mass murder.
We’re going to ban books that help other people understand one another’s cultures? Then we should do the same for religious books as those are cultural. Including any charter schools that accept public funds.
Wow, we got the Church this time, guys!
“Lool one troll complained about the Bible tee hee! The Bible is just like a junior high library having an instruction book for butt plugs!”
Any other news? You have posted this multiple times
Christofacsists need a taste of their own medicine.
The Trib cries itself to sleep every night because people believe in and choose to follow God.
Who put up to this mockery go:y gospel taken by my love
Lol bro how many times you gonna post this article?
I mean the Bible is among the most violent and depraved books out there. Some of those stories are insane.
Absolutely, that book shouldn't be near a school
Now do the Book of Mormon and all the others.
Does this mean the book of Mormon as well? If not then it's clear they're trying so hard to push Mormonism to students
Why the parents are afraid?
if a book wrote about prostitution & the sexual activities of animals or incest w/the use of alcohol would they remove it according to Utah law? Ezekiel 23:20 ☑Prostitution w/hints of bestiality Genesis 19:32 ☑Incest w/alcohol use
They are definitely showing their true colors
The courts are clear: You can have Bibles in your classroom library. You can teach about Religion in an objective way. You can use sacred/religious music, literature, historical figures if balanced and has an academic purpose.
Religious books don't belong in school.
Yes remove the bible from schools.
Trolling the school. They will fall for it.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out
Ridiculous. Now let's keep track of what kind of books are more likely to be checked out by the kids. I could bet that Bibles are there just as an ornament anyway. On the other hand...
There's the trib were used to
Yeah, the Bible has pictures like this in it. This, lovely piece of 'literature' is available in Jordan School District
So then judges will just make an exception for the books they like, and ban the rest. When will liberals learn that we can’t “epically own conservatives with facts and logic” our way out of this?
I believe the expression is “hoisted by your own petard”, or “blown up by your own bomb”. Congratulations, conservatives - you did it.
They forgot health care books (it has sexual content)
This is definitely triggering the book banners. Excellent!
🫵😂 dorks
That sounds like a Utah Parent who would be happier on one of the coasts.
Lol. Please quote one porno scene out of the Bible. Then we'll use that standard to ban half the library. There are no explicit sex scenes in the Bible.
Fair enough.
Opponents of this measure are incredibly angry they can’t push porn on children. These people should be investigated and prosecuted.
Either Utah applies same standards uniformly or it is in violation of both law & Constitution Too many activists want “rules for thee but not for me” & are surprised when their standards are applied equally One hopes it opens the book-banners’ eyes to the harm they cause
🤦♀️
Wrong. UTAH PARENT IS A REJECT THAT DOESNT UNDERSTAND FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
Everybody wins!!!
Lot and his daughters.
Song of Solomon
If this is removed I hope parents push to remove EVERY. SINGLE. RELIGIOUS. BOOK in school libraries...anything that has to do with Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. If one goes, they all go.
I mean, they're not wrong. 🤷♀️
Beat them at their own game I see
It makes perfect sense. We shouldn't subject our children to this pornographic book.
The real issue isn’t how to remove a book like ”Gender Queer” and future degenerate titles, but how do these books end up in school libraries in the first place? Who are these librarians? How are they trained? Who has such influence over all of them? These are govt employees.
Yeah, but the part in Ezekiel where a lover's amount of ejaculate is compared to a stallion's is not taught in, to be fair, most Sunday Schools.
Turnabout feels like fair play. Incest, devil worship, witches, spells, pimping out daughters…some rough stuff in the Bible.
'If we can't have porn in schools, you can't teach... literally the most influential and important text in human history'
Let’s see them talk there way out of Songs of Solomon.
Story of Lot, there ya go
I hope parents in every school district do this
If the Bible contained porn there would be a lot more people reading it.
Oh sure, let’s compare the book that has been printed more than any other book in human history (5 Billion copies) with child smut books that have been printed a few thousand times.
No religious books like the bible should be in any public school, except college/universities or anything with explicit sexual content.
The Bible has a lot of content I don’t want shared with my kids.
Jesus. I’ve never seen a school library that has a copy of the Bible. That’s a thing here?!? LOL Why?!?
Yeah and while all these zealots are worried about drag queens, how about you stop grooming your kids with church?
This is just a crafty way to trick teenaged boys into reading the Old Testament!
They’re not wrong….
If it is a sh*t-for-brains opinion, the is 100% behind it. What a disgrace of a newspaper.
I'll save them some time: Judges chapter 19
Breaking news, this same person has never read the Bible.
Yes. Next, move to books with parents. Seeing parents sexualizes kids apparently? Wouldn’t want any kids learning about it at school. Books with the mention “love” after that? That’s for the home guys.
Ban the blasphemy ridden book of mormon as well. It is filth.
CourtneyLTanner One side wants to remove the Bible, one of the most significant works of literature in human history. The other side wants to remove “Gender Queen”, an autobiographical comic written in 2014 about some dude’s sexual proclivities. 🤔
I don’t see how the district can review it and NOT deem it inappropriate based on legislation and the rules UTParentsUnited want schools to abide by. Seems pretty straightforward. Rape, sex, murder, all in graphic verbiage. Even homosexual activity for good measure.
Lol look what Karen did
