A school district in the U.S. State of Utah, Alpine School District has banned the Bible from its elementary and middle school libraries for what it says contains “vulgarity or violence”.

This comes after a parent used the state’s ban on pornographic and indecent content against Christianity’s horniest fan fiction.

Last year, the state passed a law banning books with “pornographic or indecent” content, and defined those terms loosely and vaguely, which restricted access to many titles that contain age-appropriate themes addressing characters’ gender, sexuality, and race.

In March, a Utah parent wrote to the Davis School District, demanding that the Bible should be taken off the shelves based on the new law saying it contains “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide.”

The parent wrote “Get this PORN out of our schools… If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, [the Bible] should be a slam dunk.”

The district appointed a committee to review the parent’s complaint and determined that while the Bible can stay on high school shelves, it needed to be removed from younger grades and so, it has been.

Meanwhile, a member of the Christian community, Youth for Christ International sees this as a deep attack and finds the reasoning ridiculous.

An official statement is to be issued.
