>Which books and which law?

The one I was referring to:

https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2024/08/02/utah-book-b...

"The law, which went into effect July 1, requires that a book be removed from all public schools in the state if at least three school districts (or at least two school districts and five charter schools) determine it amounts to “objective sensitive material”"

It seems like there may be more similar laws, per sibling comment.

>Aren't there other books that are banned for legitimate reasons like hate speech and racial hate that aren't included here?

I don't know, and I'm not sure how it is related to my comment. I did not create the list in the article and I don't maintain any other list of banned books.





This says it's a removal from the library, not a ban. You can have it with you, but it won't be available in the school library.

Would you want your kids reading Mein Kampf or The Passing of the Great Race? I wouldn't.


>You can have it with you, but it won't be available in the school library.

No, they are "prohibited in the school setting". You cannot bring it with you.
