🚨BIBLE BANNED FROM SCHOOLS🚨 **Thread**
Utah's Davis School District pulls the Bible off elementary and middle school shelves, citing "vulgarity and violence". The move is backed by a 2022 law that bans "pornographic or indecent" books from schools. #BibleBan #Utah Image
2/7
📚 The Book Ban Fallout: The decision follows a parental complaint, arguing the King James Bible holds unsuitable content for children. Notably, most books previously banned discussed sexual orientation and identity. #BookBan #Education
3/7
🚫 This Bible ban joins a larger trend across the US, with states banning teachings and books on controversial topics like LGBT rights and racial identity. Bans on books deemed offensive are in place in Texas, Florida, Missouri, and South Carolina. #Censorship
4/7
🔍 The Specifics: The ban was enacted after a complaint filed in December 2022. Officials highlight that the Bible was never a part of the curriculum and only a handful of copies were available on the school shelves. #BanDetails
5/7
🎯 Unpacking the Complaint: The complaining parent stated that the King James Bible has "no serious values for minors", calling it "pornographic by our new definition", referring to the 2022 book-ban law. #ParentComplaint
6/7
💡 Official Response: Despite initial resistance, Utah state lawmaker Ken Ivory conceded the Bible might be a "challenging read" for younger kids. He maintains the Bible is best taught at home, rather than in schools. #GovernmentResponse
7/7
📖 Looking Ahead: Despite the controversy, the Bible will remain available in local high schools. The ruling stipulated that the Bible's content does not violate the 2022 law but does include "vulgarity or violence" unsuitable for younger students. #FutureSteps

*Thread 🧵* Just finished watching the thought-provoking documentary 'WHAT IS A WOMAN?' by Matt Walsh on The Daily Wire. A challenging exploration of the complexities of gender identity politics, puberty blockers, sex change surgery, and more. Here's my take. 🧵… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2/12
Walsh begins by observing his children's birthday party - twin boy and girl. Each gets gender-typical gifts. He reflects on the current culture erasing the distinctions between boys and girls, leading to some pertinent questions. #WhatIsAWoman
3/12
These questions, such as 'What is a woman?' and 'Can boys really become girls?' reflect the confusion in society regarding sex and gender. Is it fair for parents and children to navigate this complexity without a clear understanding? #WhatIsAWoman
