In Utah, the school district reviews a parent complaint and decides whether to remove a book. Williams, the Davis district spokesman, declined to identify members of the committee charged with evaluating requests for books to be pulled from school library circulation. Under district policy, it must include a facilitator, an administrator, an English teacher, a school librarian and at least four parents.
The person who submitted the request for Davis School District to review the Bible accused the Utah legislature of facilitating a “bad faith process” for taking books out of schools, according to a copy of the December request obtained and published by“Get this PORN out of our schools!” wrote the person. “If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, this should be a slam dunk.
State Rep. Ken Ivory , who sponsored the bill to remove “sensitive materials” from schools in the Utah house, praised the Davis committee for reviewing texts.
