The Bible was challenged for “vulgar and inappropriate” content, including instances of prostitution, rape, sexual assault, violence and illegal activities.
The controversy stems from the board's decision not to adopt a 2020 Virginia law that protects against the discrimination of non-binary and transgender students by allowing them to use the bathroom or locker room which they identify with.
