The Utah Board of Education has announced that 13 book titles will be removed from public schools statewide. This action follows a new state law aimed at removing materials deemed illegal or inappropriate. One of the books affected, “What Girls Are Made Of” by Elana K. Arnold, is a notable work of literary fiction. Advocates for the removal, such as Karin Johnson from Utah Parents United, view it as a victory for ensuring compliance with the law. However, some legislators, including House Minority Leader Angela Romero, express concerns that this sets a troubling precedent by centralizing control over educational content. Critics argue that the law infringes on students’ rights and parental choice regarding reading materials.
