A northern Utah school district has reversed its earlier committee-based decision that removed the Bible from elementary and junior high school but kept it in high school libraries.

I’m an atheist but I have zero problem with a Bible being available in a school library… you know what turned me into an atheist was actually sitting down and reading the damn thing… I do hope they extend the same shelf space to other religious scripture and books on philosophy but sadly I doubt it.
Normally I would agree, but it’s easy for kids to misinterpret the Bible. Most of the books that are banned as just stories. Sure, you can learn something from them, but they’re not passed off as guides by which to live your life. When people take the Bible literally, it can lead to some nasty outcomes.
Religious texts should be commented on sensitive parts and given a warning label.
School libraries ought to have all the major religious works of the major religions. Religion has a lot of influence on the world. There are a lot of reasons someone might want to learn about it.
Having just a Bible is bullshit, and imo overt religious indoctrination.
Na Republicans only want the bible, not those other made up ones
