For the second time in a week, Utah lawmakers railed on Davis School District's process for challenging school library books and other instructional materials.
Sen. John Johnson, R-North Ogden, said the decision of a district-appointed book review committee to retain "The Freedom Writers Diary" by Erin Gruwell, which some lawmakers say violates "bright line" provisions of state law, could render district officials "accessory to distribution of pornography to minors."
Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, said school district officials could de-select the title themselves because it violates the "bright line rule." Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan, said there will be more legislation to further refine the Legislature's policy intent and to clarify review policies. Linford acknowledged the decision was controversial "in my community and throughout the state and for that, I do apologize for that," he said.
