Utah Book Ban

Recommended Posts

Last year, Utah passed a law making it much easier to ban books in schools. If it has something 'offensive' in it, it doesn't matter what the work is, or the overall context. And it allows for pretty much instantaneous removal. 

"Based on the new Utah law, something is indecent if it includes explicit sexual arousal, stimulation, masturbation, intercourse, sodomy or fondling," The Tribune's report stated. "According to state attorneys, material doesn’t have to be 'taken as a whole' in those situations or left on the shelf during a review. If there is a scene involving any of those acts, it should be immediately removed."

So a parent has filed a complaint against a book that contains:

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request.

You know...

The Bible.

Ooooh. Yeah, they didn't mean it that way.

No. Of course not.

It was those 'evil LGBTQ people' and those 'uppity minorities that think they're as good as US'

Apparently those 'lawmakers' never heard of the 'law of unintended consequences'.
