The exact wording of the complaint saying the Book of Mormon should be removed from schools was released for the first time Friday by the Davis School District after The Salt Lake Tribune filed a public records request for it.
The school district redacted the name of the requester, citing district policy that a person asking for a book review “may indicate on the request form a desire for their identity to remain unknown.”
Davis School District has moved forward with a review committee’s recommendation to remove the common translation of the Bible from elementary and middle schools,It has been kept on high school library shelves, though, and other translations of the Bible have not been removed from the lower grades as those were not part of the original challenge.
A committee made up of three members of the district’s Board of Education will now consider that and make a recommendation on the appeal to the full board to vote on. Both the Bible and Book of Mormon complaints appear to have arisen out of frustration by parents who say they were tired of seeing the books that were being pulled out of schools at the request of conservative groups. Those organizations, including Utah Parents United, have largely targeted texts about the LGBTQ+ community that they say contain indecent material.
