Derby school district won’t be removing the Bible from libraries or classrooms, despite challenge
WICHITA, Kansas — A Derby school district committee decided not to remove the Bible from libraries or classrooms despite a challenge that the book contains mature themes. Cheryl Bannon, a former member of the Derby City Council, asked the district’s library committee to review the Bible after the group decided to remove an award-winning youngadult novel from its list of approved classroom materials.
