A school district in the US state of Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle schools for containing "vulgarity and violence". The move follows a complaint from a parent that the King James Bible has material unsuitable for children.2 days ago.
I guess you get what you asked for.

Here is a case that seems a bad result, but only if one is viewing it myopically. If the precident is that ‘sex in books is not appropriate for kids of ages 5-8’ , then this ruling has also banned every L***QAA&$@%^}|*= book ever to be written with children as the target. So, while I share the frustration in this completely unveiled attack on Christianity/ values, it still amounts, for the left, to punishing Briar Rabbit by forcing him into the briar patch.

I am against censorship, Bible or not. I do think that school books and school libraries should have age appropriate books as determined by experts not just one parent or a small group of parents. The school district should not do the parenting for the parents, let the parents determine what books their kids read no mine. This is not about education but control about what the rest of us think and read. It never worked in the past (N**i Germany comes to mind) and it will not work now. It I remember my youth a censorship list made for a good have to read list.

Your statement above appears to be self contradictory, unless I misunderstanding what you’re saying.

I think the country has really gone downhill ethically and morally since prayer was banned in schools. This just continues the erosion of our nation's soul. My 2 cents, your mileage may differ.

Censorship is not about what you read or what movie you see, it's about control. The control of what you think.One person Governor or parent in a school district should never try to control how the rest of us thinking that is what MAGA governor's and their followers are trying to do. As far as my statement of "age appropriate" I feel the writing should be at the level students understand what the authors are saying and the students at that level can think for themselves.

MAGA Governors? lol I don't think DeSantis is a MAGA supporter any longer. DeSantis also didn't ban any books for public schools as Lefties have claimed. So you support having pornography in public schools and all those creepy books dealing with sexual details that Lefties appear to be ok with??

Ahhh, you qualified it with the term "experts". Your expert or mine? Experts when it comes to your children all things being common sense, is an arbitrary term that people use as some sort of trump card meant to influence or force people to decide something they themselves do not agree with. There are experts on UFO's... Once upon a time "Experts" hung witches. Experts ruined peoples lives and lively hoods based on taking an inoculation that would "prevent you from catching and stop the t***sfer of c***d" both things are now known to be blatantly and demonstrably untrue. (They are now hiring people back that we're fired over "Experts" direction).

I'm not an a*****xer... I took the c***d shots and flu shots... but "Experts" flat out lied about it.

So tell us again about the opinions of "experts" who decide what is appropriate in this age range, as "experts" are currently prescribing drugs to stop the normal progression of puberty because a child in the very same age range as this, has "decided" they wish to change their g****r. The same age of kids that say stuff like " I want to be a d**gon" or "an astronaut".

Taking the Bible out of the library of an elementary school, from kids who wouldn't crack them open, leaves more room for Dr. Seuss books... wait- not those huh?, those are in effect not just being removed, they are "being burned" (removed & taken out of publication ) ... who's the expert N**ies???

Keep religious materials out of the public schools.

School prayers are generic and simplistic. They become routine utterances that lose all meaning for the students- just a routine when done. And most schools other than religious, never had school prayers so I think your idea about prayer ending societal discord is misplaced.

History tells us that "societal discord" may arise from religious controversy. I hesitate to say more.

That would be Little Johnny's mother that made the complaint, the same mother

that made the complaint 50 years ago that you can't fail my Little Johnny. SHE'S BACK.

Absolutely correct. We didn't have any of these problems when schools taught the 3 R's and practiced the 3 P's, praying, pledging and paddling.

Did you know that this was the prayer that got prayer banned from public schools?

“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country.”

That’s all it was, folks.
