Last year, in the US state of Utah, a law was passed that determines that if someone reports a book for its inappropriate content, it must be ipso facto removed from schools and then it must go through the evaluation by a committee of educational managers. Education officials usually confirm the decision to withdraw it. It is a rule used mainly by conservative groups to censor books with LGBTIQ content.
Now, however, one parent has decided to use the law in a way that its promoters did not foresee. The man has denounced the Bible because it is a book that includes pages that talk about “incest, onanism, zoophilia, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape and even infanticide”.
The complaint was made in December and the final resolution has now been made. It has been removed from primary school libraries. Even the legislator Ken Ivory, of the Republican Party, who was one of the promoters of the law, has thanked the decision and has recognized that for the little ones it is “complicated reading”. I must not have read it before, obviously. He says that, “traditionally, in America, the Bible is best taught, and best understood, at home and around the hearth, as a family.” I guess that way, when they find rough bits, they skip them and move on until they reach more idyllic pages.
So evident is the link of the Holy Scriptures with unleashed lewdness that on the pornographic portals – Pornhub, without going any further – there are videos dedicated to it. Type “bible” or “bible study” into the search engine. There are videos of people engaged in reading the holy book while practicing the full range of possibilities it details. Banning the Bible from schools is the best way to promote it and make the scoundrel devour it.
