After a parent appealed last year, the Davis School District review committee decided to ban the Bible from all schools other than those at a high school level, citing passages that refer to sex and violence. According to reports, the resistance was initiated by a parent who wrote in their complaint that they were unhappy with books being deemed "inappropriate" by conservative organisations and kicked out of schools in recent months. The parent requested that the Bible be reviewed by the board, arguing that it was time to ban 'one of the most sex-ridden books from classrooms'. According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Davis School District spokesperson Christopher Williams said that the decision to delete the bible will go into place immediately.

A tornado that ripped into America's Midwest and South wreaked a deadly path, killing at least 26 people and leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity. The ferocious twisters demolished houses and businesses, cut down trees, and spread garbage to communities across a wide swath of the country in at least eight states. At least nine people were killed in one Tennessee county, four in the small town of Wynne, Arkansas, three in Sullivan, Indiana, and four in Illinois.

A court heard the vindictive sister called police and told them that her sibling had 'large amounts' of cocaine in his vehicle. In an attempt to get him in jail, a man caught drug-driving was given the items by his sister. Colchester Magistrates Court (pictured) heard that police officers in Clacton, Essex, had intercepted David Pridmore after being told he was transporting "significant amounts" of Class A drugs by his sister.
