Spencer Cox (R-UT) signed HB374 into law, which went into effect in May of that year. However, in December, one parent filed a complaint against the Bible in the Davis School District, triggering the requirement that &#8220;a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-accuses-biden-of-rejecting-scientific-consensus-on-school-reopenings\/\" title=\"House GOP Accuses Biden of Rejecting Scientific Consensus on School Reopenings\">local education agency<\/a> to include parents who are reflective of a school&#8217;s community&#8221; review the complaint. After six months of deliberation, the agency decided to remove copies of the Bible from elementary and middle schools, but it will remain in high schools.<\/p>\n<h3>Bill Sponsor Laments Complaint<\/h3>\n<p>Bill sponsor Rep. Ken Ivory initially lamented the complaint, accusing the parents of attempting &#8220;to poke fun at the very real harm caused by hyper-sexualized materials at schools.&#8221; However, Ivory has since changed his tune, thanking the district for setting &#8220;the floor for the standard by which age-appropriate, sensitive, obscene, and indecent materials must immediately be reviewed&#8221; and removing inappropriate materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe [King James Version] Bible is a challenging read for elementary or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abigail-shrier-activist-teachers-recruit-middle-schoolers-for-lgbtq-clubs-mock-parents\/\" title=\"Abigail Shrier: Activist Teachers Recruit Middle Schoolers for \u2018LGBTQ Clubs,\u2019 Mock Parents\">middle school children<\/a> on their own,&#8221; Ivory said in a statement. &#8220;Traditionally, in America, the Bible is best taught, and best understood, in the home, and around the hearth, as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Parent&#8217;s Complaint<\/h3>\n<p>In this case, the anonymous parent complained the Bible contained instances of &#8220;incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide&#8221; in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-school-district-pulls-bible-from-elementary-and-middle-school-library-shelves\/\" title=\"Utah school district removes Bible from libraries.\">request apparently made sarcastically<\/a>. The parent thanked the legislature &#8220;for making this bad faith process so much easier and way more efficient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Get this PORN out of our schools!&#8221; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/school-board-members-want-public-schools-to-push-for-gun-bans-requirements-for-parents\/\" title=\"School Board Members Want Public Schools To Push For Gun Bans, Requirements For Parents\">request read<\/a>. &#8220;If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, this should be a slam dunk.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More Books Under Consideration<\/h3>\n<p>Davis School District spokesperson Chris William confirmed to ABC News that there have been more than 60 books called into question since the law&#8217;s inception, and 40 remain under consideration.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that while the Bible has been removed from some schools, it remains available in high schools. The law&#8217;s aim is to ensure age-appropriate, sensitive, obscene, and indecent materials are reviewed and removed from schools.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this issue?
