@kwamealexander Just saw the ads for this yesterday. So exciting! I can’t wait to tell my students!

BREAKING: Utah Republicans are "Very Sad" that a parent has contested the Bible's presence in schools due to a state law that prohibits "pornographic or indecent" content.

The unnamed parent said that the Bible is “one of the most sex-ridden books around.”

Up until this point this law has been used to eliminate books by primarily Black and LGBTQ+ writers from school libraries.

The Utah state Rep. Ken Ivory (R), who sponsored the bill called this parent's actions "very sad" and a "political stunt".

What's sad is that the GOP is literally doing far worse about books that aren't even close to as bad as the Bible in terms of sexualization.

@gale4swind @KATVNews UGH! If they can now ban books in some places based on a single phrase or even word taken out of context, I guess anything is possible. 🥺

So many teachers are not okay, but, because they keep showing up, keep smiling and keep quiet— everyone thinks they are just fine.

@cmclymer I thought the very same thing. I would truly guess that had to have been approved by them in order for it to have been shown. 🤔

@cluzniak In the real world, can you look for information online? That’s your answer!

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

When I think about so many grading policies, I can’t help but think, “We really think learning isn’t enjoyable and has to be forced through the threat of punishment, huh?”

Like, how did we get to a point that learning became so lifeless that we have to convince kids to do it?
