13 books removed from Utah public school libraries due to updated sensitive material law.

13 books were removed from Utah public school libraries due to the state's updated "sensitive materials" law (H.B. 29), which defines "objective sensitive material" as "pornographic or indecent." Schools must dispose of the books but cannot sell or distribute them. The Utah School Library Association claims the books are being mischaracterized and that the law infringes on students' First Amendment rights. The State Board of Education reserves the right to revisit removals within 30 days and may update the list.
