    Not good for the environment:-)

    I don't believe the State of Utah is pro Nazism.

    "As of 2020, 60.68% of Utahns are reported as members of The Church of
    Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

    I learned in another news group that the books will not be banned in Utah,
    but only in schools. So students will be able to ask their parents to buy
    the books for them.

    It
    is Utah and is acceptable. Small state and not Texas.
